Franz Schubert (1797–1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras best remembered for his lieder (art songs) and chamber music. Despite his short life, he composed over 1,000 works including symphonies, masses, and piano compositions, with notable pieces like 'Erlkönig,' 'Ave Maria,' and the 'Unfinished Symphony.' His music profoundly influenced 19th-century composers and he is considered one of the greatest composers in Western classical music history.Browse all performers
