Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer who was born in 1797 into a musically knowledgeable family. Throughout his childhood, he studied various instruments and began composing frequently from a young age. Although he took a teaching job to support his family, he continued composing and performed his works with friends. During this productive period of his life, he introduced songs like "Der Wanderer" and "Die Forelle." Later, he faced financial difficulties and illness, but still created major works including his "Unfinished Symphony," "Death and the Maiden" string quartet, and lieder like "Schöne Müllerin" before his untimely death in 1828 at the age of 31.
