 +===== Salieri =====
 +
 +When Franz was just seven years old, the composer Salieri (of not really killing Mozart renown) noticed him as a prodigy. Franz was taken away to the Imperial Seminary, where he sang in the choir, played the violin in the orchestra, and studied music theory with Salieri himself.

 +
 +===== Young Composer =====
 +
 +Salieri was a wonderful instructor, and the young Schubert was creating his first string quartets, songs, and piano pieces under his tutelage. [([[https://www.britannica.com/biography/Franz-Schubert|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Gretchen am Spinnrade =====
 +
 +At the age of 17, Schubert composed his first masterwork, a setting of Goethe's 'Gretchen am Spinnrade' (Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel). Already, the composer began incorporating the piano section into the tune. The accompaniment is a spinning wheel that speeds up and slows down in reaction to the words.[([[https://muse.jhu.edu/article/168208/summary|Muse]])]
 +
 +===== Musical Genius =====
 +
 +Schubert composed about 20,000 bars of music in 1815 alone, including nine religious compositions, a symphony, and over 150 songs, including eight in one day in October.[([[https://courses.lumenlearning.com/musicapp_historical/chapter/schubert/|Lumen Learning]])]
 +
 +===== Law Degree And Composer =====
 +
 +Schubert began both a legal degree and the composition of his Symphony No.5 as a 19-year-old in Vienna. This may have been the composition that led the composer to abandon his studies in law. It's the ideal introduction to his music: light, breezy, full of young vigor, and jam-packed with melodies. [([[https://www.classicfm.com/composers/schubert/music/symphony-no-5-b-flat/|Classic FM]])]
