Franz Schubert's Accomplishments

On his return to Hamburg he ventured, on 21st September 1848, to give a concert on his own account for the first time. The programmed included the adagio and tondo from a concerto by Rosenhain, Dohler?s fantasy on William tell, a serenade for the left hand alone by his master, Marxsen, a study by the fashionable Henri Herz, a Bach fugue, and his own Variations on a Folksong. He early showed as love for the folksong of his fatherland, which he used as themes for some remarkable variations a musical form, by the

Franz Schubert was born in Vienna, Austria in 1797. Growing up Schubert learnt to play piano, violin and viola. As well as being gifted with the ability of these instruments, his voice “earned him admittance to the Imperial Chapel choir school.” [2] This is where he developed his theory and compositional ability. When Schubert passed away in 1828 he left behind “over 600 lieder (German art songs), 9 symphonies, 15 string quartets, and hundreds of other different genres of pieces, including operas, masses, and piano works.” [3] one of these works is ‘Erlkönig’.

Beethoven is perhaps the most famous musician of all time. His influence on later composers was extremely huge, to the extent where many composers were intimidated by his music. Ludwig van Beethoven was born in 1770 into a family of musicians. His father and grandfather were both musicians at the court of Elector in the German town of Bonn. His grandfather was very respected, but his dad not so much given that he was an alcoholic. At a young age, Beethoven was put in charge of his family’s finances and started a job at the court. He composed music and helped look after the instrumentation. Around the same time, he began to write music. In 1790, an important visitor passed through Bonn: this was Franz Joseph Haydn. He was on his way to London for a visit when he stopped to meet Beethoven and agreed to take him on as a student when he came back from London to Vienna. In 1792, Beethoven moved to Vienna to study with Hayden. Apparently, it did not go as planned. Hayden was old fashion and a little overbearing, while Beethoven was rebellious and headstrong. Beethoven found support among the rich arts who lived in Vienna. Prince Lichnowsky gave him board and lodging at his place for in return, Beethoven would compose music and preform at evening parties.

After the death of his mother his music career became even greater. After taking some time off due to his mother’s death, Ludwig moved to the city of Vienna in the year of 1790 to work on his music career. When Ludwig arrived in Vienna, he began studying with Joseph Haydn. “While being in Vienna and studying, Ludwig wasn’t a happy student of Haydn because Haydn never had the time to teacher Haydn (Green).” A few moves after arriving to Vienna, Ludwig had to return home to the city of Bonn because he learn that his father had passed away. After dealing with everything with his father’s death, Ludwig

Also among Beethoven’s teachers, though later in his life, were Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, an organist at the imperial court in Vienna whom he studied under until 1795, and Antonio Salieri; Mozart’s old rival whom Beethoven learned vocal composition in the same period he was studying under Albrechtsberger. Before Albrechtsberger and Salieri was a man named Haydn, whom he studied under for a period of about three years starting in 1792 until 1794 when Haydn moved to London. It is said that Beethoven admired Haydn so much that he was the only man he had ever bent his knee to kiss the hand of. Finally, Beethoven studied under Aloys Forster, a specialist in writing scores for quartets. It is plane to see that throughout his life, his talent was not only constructed through his love of music, but forged by his exposure to multiple mediums and teachings throughout his life.

Beethoven returned to Vienna in 1972 to continue his musical education. Beethoven never returned to his hometown and stayed in Vienna for a while. The in Vienna, Beethoven had valuable lessons from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Hayden, Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, Antonio Salieri, and Aloys Forster. Each of them had taught Beethoven something special. Beethoven quickly adopted a reputation as a great pianist, a child prodigy. Everyone in the music industry has learned to admire Beethoven and his talent.

Schumann's wife, the composer and pianist Clara, wrote in her diary about his first visit, that Brahms was “one of those who comes as if straight from God. – He played us sonatas, scherzos etc. of his own, all of them showing exuberant imagination, depth of feeling, and mastery of form ... what he played to us is so masterly that one cannot but think that the good God sent him into the world ready-made. He has a great future before him, for he will first find the true field for his genius when he begins to write for the orchestra.”.

     Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-91) is regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived. He began writing minuets at the age of 5,and by the time he died in 1791 at the age of 35, he had produced 626 cataloged works. “ Mozart has enriched the concerto form with a larger number of masterpieces than any other composer.”1

Franz Peter Schubert was born on January 31, 1797 in Himmelpfortgrund, Austria. The parents of F.P. Schubert were Franz Theodor Schubert, a school master, and Elizabeth Vietz, a domestic servant in Vienna and homemaker. Schubert’s father taught him how to play the violin while his older brother Ignaz Schubert taught him how to play the piano, even though Schubert’s family taught him how to play certain instruments his soprano voice did not go unnoticed. (Machlis, Joseph, and Kristine Forney) Schubert enrolled at the Stadtkonuikt, a school which trained young vocalists, then in 1808 eleven-year-old Schubert earned a scholarship into the Imperial Court. During his time in the Imperial Court Schubert had a spot on the courts chapel choir, he played

Beethoven's talents were discovered at an early age, and he was sent to Vienna to study under different teachers including Mozart and Hayden. There, Beethoven quickly adopted a reputation of a great piano player, a child prodigy. He gave his first public performance at the age of eight and published his first

He was orderly and disciplined in his creative musical life and rather free spirited in his social life, spending evenings in Vienna's numerous cafes. Never successful in obtaining a steady position, he was largely supported by his wealthy male friends, occasional funds from publishers, and such short-term positions as a foray to Hungary to teach the wealthy Esterhazy daughters. Schubert is music history's first bohemian.

From a young age Franz showed musical talent. Before the age of six he started taking lessons from his father and by the age of eight he was writing music. When he was nine he made his first public appearance as a concert pianist at Sopron and Pozsony which is now Brartslava, Slovakia. His playing impressed local Hungarian magnates, influential person in business so much that they gave money to pay for his musical education for the next six years. Franz later moved to Vienna with his father to take piano lessons with Carl Cherny a pianist, composer, and a previous pupil of Ludwig van Beetoven. Franz also studied composition with Anotonia Salieri. Is is said that Beethoven attended on of lists concert.
