The life of Franz Schubert has been a gift to romantically inclined
biographers: the beautiful, brilliant, modest boy who sprang to fully
fledged genius at the age of 16; the quintessential 'artist in a
garret', entirely consumed by his art and living a hand-to-mouth
existence in Vienna (home of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven); the gentle,
cheerful, convivial young man who prized friendship almost as highly as
music itself; the unworldly poet from whom great music poured like water
from a fountain; the unrecognised master who died almost penniless at
the age of 31. And most of this is true. But as revealed in this
dramatised biography (lavishly illustrated with musical examples), there
was a secret, darker side to Schubert which only renders his story that
much more fascinating.
