Description
Born just a few years after 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. 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 the greatest composers.
