COMPOSSER MUSIC CLASSIC: Franz Liszt

Franz Schubert (1797-1828), Austrian composer who is considered the greatest of all art song composers and who excelled at chamber music, piano music, and orchestral music. His reputation as the father of German lieder (art songs) rests on a body of more than 600 songs, which rank among the masterpieces of 19th-century romanticism. His instrumental works bridge the classical tradition of the 18th century and the romanticism of the 19th, borrowing the structures of the former and incorporating the emotionalism of the latter.
