Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was an Austrian composer of Romantic music best known for his songs, symphonies, piano music, and chamber music. Schubert's career lasted only 15 years, but he was a prolific composer. Neither a conductor or virtuoso player, Schubert did not gain international fame until well after his early death at the age of 31. He is today regarded as one of the principal founders of the Romantic music movement.
