The Schubertiade Festival in Austria: honouring the famous composer Franz Schubert

Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer, born in 1797 in Vienna he died aged 31 in his hometown. At a very early age his talents were apparent: his first composition was completed at the age of just 14. In the following years he composed a total of twelve symphonies, 17 stage pieces, nine overtures, 21 sonatas as well as over 600 lieder. Despite Franz Schubert’s nationwide recognition today, he did not achieve a breakthrough while still alive. However his importance as a composer is no doubt recognised today, and every year the Schubertiade in Vorarlberg is held in his honour.
