Schubert had early exposure to music thanks to his family and eventually his talent caught the eye of Antonio Salieri (who was best remembered as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's arch-enemy due to media's mispresentation). An extremely prolific worker despite his short life, Schubert's talent was admired by his friends, who often gathered to listen to his works in the so-called Schubertiad, but he didn't achieve significant recognition until after his death. Accounts by people who knew Schubert confirm that he was a Workaholic: friends would visit him at home and he'd look up from composing, say a friendly hello and then go back to work and forget that they were there. It's increasingly believed that he was Ambiguously Gay, but the lack of strong evidence suggests that his workaholism didn't give him much time for a personal life. Ludwig van Beethoven was his idol, and Schubert was a torchbearer at Beethoven's funeral.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Schubert is best known for his many, many songs, such as "Erlkönig", "Gretchen am Spinnrade", "Ständchen" (better known as Serenade), "Ellens Gesang III" (better known as "Ave Maria"), "Die Forelle" (known in English as "The Trout", or in Korean as the Samsung washer/dryer end tone) and "Wanderers Nachtlied II", as well as the song cycles Winterreise and Die Schöne Müllerin. Schubert is generally regarded as the greatest writer of classical song in the history of Western music; apart from the sheer quality of his songs, he wrote over 600 of them. But he also found time to write a lot of other music, including many important symphonies, chamber music, works for piano, church music and other pieces, before death (from either typhoid fever or syphilis, depending on who you ask) silenced him at the young age of 31.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })He is mentioned as being dead in the song "Decomposing Composers" by Michael Palin sang on Monty Python's Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album.
