We talk about how to bring about a truly singing tone in the Russian Piano Tradition
This was composed in eighteen nineteen and published in eighteen twenty-nine, ten years later.
In fact, Schubert had died about a year earlier, or in eighteen twenty-eight rather.
So among many works, this was also a work that was discovered after his death.
Likely some people heard it.
As I've mentioned in some episodes, Schubert had a lot of wealthy friends.
He was very withdrawn from what we know of his biography.
He would take very long walks in nature.
He was really an artist unto his own, but he was not very good at promoting himself and really speaking up and marketing himself as we would call today.
How many of us have, you know, been raised with the expectation that you need to create your own brand in these days with social media and so forth? Well, you know, in those days, you know, in the eighteen hundreds, it was all about publishing and getting your work into the right publishing hands.
You know, you could make a lot of money from that and also it would also work as kind of a calling card or, um, a res- a resume, cover letter, actually.
You would be, just as now, you would be invited to, uh, perform concerts, you know, get commissions and so forth.
During this time, he also, um, composed several four, four-hand piano works.
That's two players on the same keyboard.
It's quite, um, it's quite old, but it's, uh, it's still valuable information.
You'll find the documentary.
He goes into depth about talking about Schubert's life, his struggles.
Um, a lot of, uh, a lot of societal rumors that may have come about also.
Um, it's, it's known, um, and what I'm alluding to is Schubert, um, wanted to marry.
But at that time, according to the research I've done, in German law, or Austrian law rather, you had to have sufficient means, meaning you had to have sufficient income in order to be able to be eligible to, to marry.
It didn't matter if you fell in love with a beautiful woman, uh, down the street, and you both were in love.
The marriage could not happen if you did not have stable income and documented employment and so forth.
