![]() In the meantime, his genius began to show in his compositions. In those early days, the financially well-off Spaun furnished the impoverished Schubert with much of his manuscript paper. Schubert's friendship with Spaun began at the Stadtkonvikt and lasted throughout his short life. The precocious young student "wanted to modernize" them, as reported by Joseph von Spaun, Schubert's friend. One important musical influence came from the songs by Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg, an important Lieder composer of the time. His exposure to these and lesser works, combined with occasional visits to the opera, laid the foundation for a broader musical education. At the Stadtkonvikt, he was introduced to the overtures and symphonies of Mozart, and the symphonies of Joseph Haydn and his younger brother Michael. In October 1808, he became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt (Imperial Seminary) through a choir scholarship. Young Schubert first came to the attention of Antonio Salieri, then Vienna's leading musical authority, in 1804, when his vocal talent was recognized. Franz wrote his earliest string quartets for this ensemble. He also played viola in the family string quartet, with brothers Ferdinand and Ignaz on first and second violin and his father on the cello. The boy seemed to gain more from an acquaintance with a friendly joiner's apprentice who took him to a neighbouring pianoforte warehouse where Franz could practice on better instruments. Aged seven, he was given his first lessons outside the family by Michael Holzer, organist and choirmaster of the local parish church in Lichtental the lessons may have largely consisted of conversations and expressions of admiration. His father taught him basic violin technique, and his brother Ignaz gave him piano lessons. His formal musical education started around the same time. Though he was not recognised or even formally trained as a musician, he passed on certain musical basics to his gifted son.Īt the age of six, Franz began to receive regular instruction from his father, and a year later was enrolled at his father's school. Their father was a well-known teacher, and his school in Lichtental (in Vienna's ninth district) had numerous students in attendance. Of Franz Theodor's fourteen children (one of them illegitimate, born in 1783), nine died in infancy. His father, Franz Theodor Schubert, the son of a Moravian peasant, was a parish schoolmaster his mother, Elisabeth (Vietz), was the daughter of a Silesian master locksmith and had been a housemaid for a Viennese family before marriage. Schubert was born in Himmelpfortgrund (now a part of Alsergrund), Vienna, Archduchy of Austria on 31 January 1797.
