Franz Schubert

Franz Schubert (1797–1828) was an Austrian composer whose composing genius bridged Classical and Romantic music. Known especially for his over 600 art songs (Lieder), he blended poetry and melody with emotional depth. Schubert also created symphonies, chamber music, piano works, and sacred compositions, often marked by beauty and tenderness. Though he died at just 31, his music profoundly influenced later composers, including Clara Schumann, Brahms, and Mahler, ensuring his lasting place as a master of melody and expression.
