Franz Peter Schubert

Franz Peter Schubert (1797–1828) was an Austrian composer and one of the foremost exponents of Romanticism. German lieder reached their finest expression in his lyrical songs, especially in the great cycles “Die schöne Müllerin” and “Die Winterreise.” His symphonies are the final extension of the classical sonata forms, and the Fifth, Eighth, and Ninth Symphonies rank with the finest orchestral music. Well known for such chamber works as the Quartet in D Minor ("Death and the Maiden") and the Quintet in A Major ("The Trout"), Schubert also wrote stage music, choral music, masses, and much piano music.
