 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.

 +===== Schubertiads =====
 +
 +Schubert loved to have a good time, and he was known for his musical gatherings, known as 'Schubertiads', where he would assemble with friends and followers to perform some of his new works.[([[https://www.schurmethodmusic.com/schubertiads|schurmethodmusic]])]
 +
 +===== Little Mushroom =====
 +
 +Schubert's small size, combined with his fairly fat figure, gave him the moniker 'Schwammerl' (little mushroom).[([[https://m.facebook.com/abc.classic/photos/a.147580171921979/3580529905293638/?comment_id=3580738065272822|Facebook]])]
 +
 +===== Fan Of Mozart =====
 +
 +Schubert made no secret of his admiration for Mozart's music. "Mozart, Mozart!" "What many impressions of a happier, better existence hast thou engraved onto our minds, immortal Mozart!" he wrote.[([[https://pl.pinterest.com/pin/345721708890144772/|Pinterest]])]
 +
 +===== Trout Quintet =====
 +
 +Its name comes from the fourth movement, which is a collection of variations on an older Schubert song called The Trout. The song was written to warn young ladies from being "caught" by "angling" young males. However, Schubert chose not to set the poem's concluding words, choosing to focus on creating the image of a trout in the water and the response to it being caught by a fisherman.[([[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Die-Forelle|Britannica]])]
 +
 +===== Sound Of Things To Come =====
 +
 +Schubert's mournful string quartets served as a precursor to the impassioned music of Brahms and even Richard Strauss in the impending Romantic age.[([[https://twitter.com/1Composers/status/1101120738675720194|Twitter]])]
 +
 +===== Unfinished Symphony =====
 +
 +Schubert's Unfinished Symphony was discovered more than three decades after the composer's death, when an elderly man claimed to have received a work by Schubert 43 years before. The missing fourth movement of the symphony is thought to be the Entr'acte from Schubert's incidental music for the play Rosamunde.[([[https://www.jstor.org/stable/746894|JSTOR]])]
 +
 +===== The Great Symphony =====
 +
 +Few Schubert aficionados would argue that his ninth symphony is worthy of the title "Great." The title was provided to set it apart from another of his symphonies, which is likewise in the key of C. (known as the Little C). The composer did mention in a March 1824 letter that he was prepared to create 'a great symphony'. [([[https://www.britannica.com/topic/Symphony-No-9-in-C-Major|Britannica]])]
