![]() ![]() He subsequently wrote an opera, a number of songs, and the second part of the "Winterreise". In 1827 he was gratified with a eulogy from the dying Beethoven, whom he visited in his last illness, and whose remains he followed to the grave. The three Shakespearean songs of 1826 are still of interest. His glorious "Ave Maria" dates from 1825, apropos of which he writes that at the time he was filled with overpowering devotion to the Blessed Virgin. His productivity from 1821 to 1824 was enormous, "Rosamunde" and his "Mass in A flat" being of permanent value. He conducted the music at high Mass at the Alterehenfelder church on Easter Sunday, 1820, and in the same year produced an Easter cantata and an opera. His compositions for 1816 include a "Salve Regina", a "Stabat Mater", a "Tantum Ergo", and a "Magnificat", as also two symphonies, and some delightful songs including the "Wanderer". His famous "Erl King", dates from November, 1815, as does his "Mass in G" wonderful for a boy of eighteen. During the same year he produced a symphony and a "Salve Regina", as well as some songs and instrumental pieces. ![]() Schubert conducted the second performance at the Augustinian church on 26 October, his brother, Ferdinand, presiding at the organ.

He left the Choir School in November, 1812, and took up work as a schoolmaster in order to avoid conscription. During 18 he produced many instrumental pieces, also a "Salve Regina" and a "Kyrie".

In any case, Beethoven received Schubert"s variations as he soon thereafter played them with his nephew. A friend of Schubert, Josef von Spaun, however, said the young musician did not meet Beethoven personally. On this occasion, Schubert stayed a while. So, the young and shy Schubert admired Beethoven from a distance.Īnton Schindler, Beethoven"s secretary and assistant in the 1820s claimed that Schubert visited Beethoven in 1822 and gave him his variations of "Le bon chevalier" (the good knight) which he had just published along with a dedication for Beethoven. They probably only knew each other by sight. Despite his admiration and although both composers lived in the same town, no closer contact was established.
