Download Life & Works - Franz Schubert AudioBook Free
The life span of Franz Schubert has been a surprise to romantically likely biographers: the stunning, brilliant, modest boy who sprang to totally fledged genius at the age of 16; the quintessential "artist in a garret", completely consumed by his art work and living a hand-to-mouth life in Vienna (home of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven); the mild, cheerful, convivial young man who prized camaraderie almost as highly as music itself; the unworldly poet from whom great music poured like normal water from a fountain; the unrecognized professional who died almost penniless at the age of 31. And the majority of this holds true. But, as discovered in this dramatized biography (lavishly illustrated with musical examples), there is a hidden knowledge, darker side to Schubert which only renders his story that much more fascinating.
