“Don’t try, just be.”
— E Pahud comment on playing Schubert.
Franz Schubert was born today 229 years ago. He composed more than 1500 works in his short career (He died 1828, aged 31)

Some of my favourites include Die Forelle, and the Impromptus (No. 3 in G Flat Major).
Schubert’s foremost contribution is his Lieders (art songs). The Winterreise was composed just one year before his pass away. Listen to Thomas Quasthoff & Daniel Barenboim performing Gute Nacht.
