A similar process is heard in three of Schubert's later compositions: the octet in F major, D. 803 ( fourth movement ); the piano sonata in A minor, D. 845 ( second movement ); and the Impromptu in B-flat major, D. 935 No. 3.

Of Tausig's original compositions and numerous arrangements of classical works the following may be mentioned: Deux Études de Concert, replacing an earlier pianoforte transcription of his symphonic ballad Das Geisterschiff ; Ungarische Zigeunerweisen, a composition for pianoforte ; Nouvelles Soirées de Vienne ; Tägliche Studien, finger exercises of high value ; a selection of studies from Clementi's Gradus ad Parnassum ; a transcription of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 ; and adaptations of Weber's Invitation to the Dance, and of six Beethoven quartets ; transcriptions of Schubert's Marche Militaire No. 1 in D and of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, The Ride of the Valkyries, and Siegmund's Love Song.

After Hüttenbrenner's revelation of the two completed movements of this symphony, some music historians and scholars took much trouble to " prove " the composition was complete in this form, and indeed in its two-movement form it has proven to be one of Schubert's most cherished compositions.

The original score was not printed until 1845, several decades after Schubert's death, and until then had remained one of Schubert's less noted compositions — so much so that that first edition of the mass had been usurped by Robert Führer, then director of music at Prague's St. Vitus Cathedral, who, eventually, ended up in prison for embezzlement.

Music historians and scholars then toiled to " prove " the composition was complete in its two-movement form, and indeed, in that form it became one of the most popular pieces in the late 19th century classical music repertoire, and remains one of Schubert's most popular compositions.

The Seidl song, Die Taubenpost, has no connection at all to the rest of the cycle and was appended by Haslinger at the end to round up all of Schubert's last compositions.

A number of classical composers have written incidental music for various plays, with the more famous examples including Ludwig van Beethoven's Egmont music, Franz Schubert's Rosamunde music, Felix Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream music, Georges Bizet's L ' Arlésienne music, and Edvard Grieg's music for Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt.

Quite a number of Godowsky's original works were considerably difficult to perform ; the Passacaglia ( which consists of 44 variations, cadenza and fugue on the opening theme of Franz Schubert's " Unfinished " Symphony ) was declared to be unplayable even by Vladimir Horowitz, who claimed it would require six hands to perform.

He had a particular affinity for the art song ( lieder ) repertoire ; the BBC has featured a number of his recordings in its Building a Library recommendations, including his 1961 recording of Schubert's Die Schöne Müllerin with Fischer-Dieskau and the 1958 Salzburg Festival recording of Wolf lieder with Schwarzkopf.

The Russian composer Anton Safronov has completed the 3rd movement based on Schubert's sketch and created a new finale for the symphony ( some themes of it are based upon a number of Schubert keyboard works ), which he has described as ' an attempt to move into the mind of the composer '.

In the Deutsch catalog of Schubert's works it is number 550, or D550.

When Beethoven was on his deathbed in 1827, Schindler, to give Beethoven some distractions, gave him manuscripts for a number of Schubert's songs.

Diabelli's firm continued to publish Schubert's work until 1823 when an argument between Cappi and Schubert terminated their business.

Later, when I was older, I found the song was part of Schubert's Die Schone Mullerin.

It was Diabelli who first recognized the composer's potential, become the very first to publish Schubert's work with Der Erlkönig in 1821.

The work enjoyed broad popular recognition in the 1940s when it was featured, in tandem with Schubert's ' Ave Maria ', in the Disney film Fantasia.

During his life he was considered a notable interpreter of Franz Schubert's Lieder, usually with Britten as accompanist.

It was while there that he did most of his work as a composer, publishing a version of Goethe's Erlkönig in 1824 ( written 1817-18 ) which some say rivals Schubert's far more famous version.

Britten was also renowned as a piano accompanist and together they recorded, among other works, Schubert's Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano in A minor D. 821.

He had left instructions that there was to be no religious ceremony, but that a record should be played of Schubert's " Ave Maria " sung by Marian Anderson, and that his granite headstone should read simply: " Wilhelm Reich, Born March 24, 1897, Died ..."

Their debut in the Carnegie Hall was well received in the New York Times, and they received positive reviews of their recordings of Schumann's piano quintet, Schubert's string quintet and Brahms ' string sextets.

When Humphries was on the BBC's Desert Island Discs radio programme in 2009, he made the following choices: " Mir ist der Ehre widerfahren " from Strauss ’ Der Rosenkavalier ; Gershwin's " Things are Looking Up " sung by Fred Astaire ; " Love Song " composed by Josef Suk ; " On Mother Kelly's Doorstep " sung by Randolph Sutton ; " Der Leiermann " from Schubert's Winterreise song cycle ; the 2nd movement of Poulenc's Flute Sonata ; Mischa Spoliansky's " Auf Wiedersehen "; and " They are not long the weeping and the laughter " from Delius ' Songs of Sunset.

At the time McClary was influenced by Maynard Solomon's allegations of Schubert's homosexuality in his 1989 paper " Franz Schubert and the Peacocks of Benvenuto Cellini.

While maintaining that attempting to read Schubert's sexuality from his music would be essentialism, she proposes that it may be possible to notice intentional ways in which Schubert composed in order to express his " difference " as a part of himself at a time when " the self " was becoming prominent in the arts.

Schubert's last task in life was the correction of the proofs for part 2 of Winterreise, and his thoughts while correcting those of the last song, " Der Leiermann ", when his last illness was only too evident, can only be imagined.

Another classical reference was Questions on the 1976 album The Roaring Silence that is based upon the main theme of Franz Schubert's Impromptu in G flat Major.

* Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 10 was realised, from the symphonic sketch D936a, by Brian Newbould in the 1990s

The result of Schubert's obsession was Penfolds Grange Hermitage, a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from around South Australia first made in 1951.

When composer and singer finally met, in 1817, Vogl was as impressed with the quality of Schubert's music as Schubert was with Vogl's singing.

Composed in 1824, after the composer suffered through a serious illness and realized that he was dying, it is Schubert's testament to death.

The quartet was first played in 1826 in a private home, and was not published until 1831, three years after Schubert's death.

He apparently planned to publish a three-set volume of quartets ; but the Rosamunde was published within a year, while the D minor quartet was only published in 1831, three years after Schubert's death, by Diabelli.

Many examples of this form can be found in Schubert's " Lieder ", where the words of a poem are set to music and each line is different, for example, in his Lied " Der Erlkönig " (" The Elf-King "), in which the setting proceeds to a different musical arrangement for each new stanza and whenever the piece comes to each character, the character portrays its own voice register and tonality.

Owing to the two stages of composition, Schubert's order in the song-cycle preserves the integrity of the cycle of the first twelve poems published and appends the twelve new poems as a Fortsetzung ( Continuation ), following Müller's order ( if one excludes the poems already set ) with the one exception of switching " Die Nebensonnen " and " Mut !".

His recording of Schubert's philosophical " Lieder für Bass " set a new standard for these songs.

Such writing occurs also in other chamber works by Schubert, such as the piano trios, but to a much lesser extent, and is characteristic of Schubert's works for piano four-hands, one of his most personal musical genres.

Schubert's music and often the man himself and the subjectivity he presented have been criticized as effeminate, especially in comparison to Beethoven, the model and aggressive master of the sonata form ( Sir George Grove, after Schumann: " compared with Beethoven, Schubert is as a woman to a man "; Carl Dahlhaus: " weak " and " involuntary ").

For the 100th anniversary of the death of Schubert in 1928, the Columbia Gramophone Company sponsored a worldwide symphony competition in which composers were to write a symphony completing, or inspired by, Schubert's " Unfinished " Symphony.

* Schubert, Franz, ( See List of Schubert's works )

Even Schubert recognized this fact ; in July 1824, he wrote his brother Ferdinand, " it would be better if you stuck to other quartets than mine, for there is nothing in them ..." There are several qualities that set these mature quartets apart from Schubert's earlier attempts.

In 1838, ten years after Schubert's death, Robert Schumann visited Vienna and was shown the manuscript of the symphony at the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde by Ferdinand Schubert.

Franz Schubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor ( sometimes renumbered as Symphony No. 7 ), commonly known as the " Unfinished Symphony " (), D. 759, was started in 1822 but left with only two movements known to be complete, even though Schubert would live for another six years.

Sometimes this work is referred to as Symphony No. 7 ( for example in the New Schubert Edition ), since the other work sometimes referred to as Schubert's 7th ( in E major, completed by Felix Weingartner ) was also left incomplete, but in a different way.

#" Schubert's Dance " ( after Franz Schubert ) – 3: 20

Schubert's friend Josef Hüttenbrenner claims that Beethoven was not home when Schubert called, and the variations were left with the house staff.
