== Information on the person ==
Franz Peter Schubert was born on January 31, 1797 in Vienna, Austria. As a child, he was given piano and violin lessons by his father and brother, and soon began to take music lessons with a local choirmaster. In November 1808, he became a student at Stadtkonvikt, a principal boarding school, where he was exposed to the works of composers such as Mozart and Beethoven.
In 1815, Schubert composed music for orchestra, church, and a symphony. In 1817, Schubert began teaching at a school his father joined. He gained praise in February 1818 after he performed an overture, and became part of a group of artists known as the Schubertiads.
During the 1820s, Schubert's composing style shifted in the direction of stage and opera. Although two of his operas gained some attention, he was ultimately unsuccessful at becoming a librettist. Despite this setback, he was accepted into the music organization Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in 1821. The high point of his life came around 1825, as he was publishing more often and welcomed all over Austria. In late 1828, his health severely declined, and he died on November 19 in his brother's apartment.
