A very important reference for documentary information about the life of Schubert
Otto Erich Deutsch was a Viennese musicologist whose work on the Schubert thematic catalog led to the present way we identify Schubert's works.For example, D 911 (Deutsch 911) refers to the song cycle "Winterreise".It is natural that Deutsch would become interested in Schubert because many the collected works were published in his early life and lost works by Schubert, especially songs, were still being discovered.Schubert had died just short of his thirty-second birthday in 1828.But he was poor and his works were largely unpublished and the manuscripts were scattered among his friends, patrons, and who knows where.

This book collects all of the documents that mention Schubert, written about him or to him or by him.Since the composer had such a short life, it is arranged by year.There is some short introductory material about Schubert's family, and Vienna at the time of his birth.The book also has quite a few illustrations, maps, and photographs of things such as Schubert's glasses and various buildings that played a role in the composer's short life.

Anyone who wants to study the life of Schubert seriously will have to consult this book.I bought it when I was studying his work in graduate school and have always been glad that I have it.It is not a casual read, but when you need to consult some aspect of the composer's life and want to read the documentary source for what you read somewhere else, you will find it here. ...

Product Description
Born just a few years after Wolfgang Mozart died, Franz Schubert had a lot in common with the famous composer. Schubert was also a gifted child who astonished adults with his musical ability. As a teen, Schubert was taught by one of Mozart's rivals. And like Mozart, Schubert's life ended prematurely and was filled with struggle.

Still, while Mozart was celebrated across Europe, Schubert was almost completely unknown until just a few years before his death. Mozart worked as a court compser; Schubert couldn't get a job. The challenges of Schubert's life inspired his art — music which is today performed across the world. Schubert's life, his challenges and his compositions are all reasons he is considered one of our great composers. ... Read more

Good Biography
Considering the time it was written, This book gives a solid biographical illustration of Franz Peter Schubert, as well as all the people who played a major role in Schubert's life.It demonstrates the reciprocal influences that people, places and events had on his works, effectively portraying the context within his life of each work.
However, being an old piece of writing, this book does not address new findings, or theories of schubert's life of modern times, such as the heated issue of his potential homosexuality.This book at best only brings forth circumstantial evidence.
If you just want a biography, this is still a good book to read, however if you are looking for a thorough musical analysis, then I would reccomend other resources. ... Read more
