Schubert and His World


Book Description

This is the first book of its kind on Schubert. It appears at a time when scholarly and general interest in his life and compositions is greater than ever, and its publication coincides with the celebration of the bicentenary of Schubert's birth in 1797. The book opens with a chronicle of Schubert's life, which is followed by more than 300 biographical entries offering information not only on his friends and acquaintances, and on persons with whom he was associated through his music (poets, librettists, publishers, patrons, musicians), but also on a number of later `Schubertians' who greatly advanced public appreciation and scholarly examination of his music or made a particularly significant contribution to our knowledge of his life. The book thus adds a fuller context and perspective to the reader's view of Schubert's activities, and indeed of the music itself.




Schubert


Book Description

In this new visual dimension of biography, events and circumstances which shaped Franz Schubert's life come alive--his tragic love affair with Theresa Grob; his friends Schober, von Schwind, and others; his unsuccessful term in law school; his veneration of Beethoven as a musical giant; and his spiritual love affair with Countess Caroline Esterhazy. Through beautiful illustrations and vital storytelling, we literally see the man and the vitality he radiated. A magnificent group of sketches, photographs, paintings, and score facsimiles take us from the Imperial Convict, Schubert's cold damp school for five early years, to the Lichtenthal Church where Theresa Grob sang the soprano solo in his First Mass, to his burial in the Musicians' Pantheon in Vienna, where he rests close to Beethoven, his idol. More than he describes Schubert's life and the spirit it harbored, the author presents the precocious lyrical genius which this man possessed. The combination of biography and musical analysis makes this an exciting book to read as well as a basic and compact reference work.
