Franz Schubert (1797-1828)

Episode 3

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 3Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 3

In Schubert's Vienna, a great deal of music-making took place in the homes of the middle-classes and aristocracy. Schubert's songs in particular were a popular fixture at many a musical soirée, and as his popularity grew, concerts devoted entirely to his music were organised by friends and admirers. Donald Macleod introduces a selection of Schubert's songs, part-songs and chamber music, typical of the works performed at such gatherings and often with Schubert himself at the piano. Show less
