Beitrag zur fünfzigjährigen Jubelfeier des Herrn von Salieri, ersten k.k. Hofkapellmeister in Wien
Gütigster, Bester!Weisester, Grösster!So lang ich Tränen habe Und an der Kunst mich labe Sei beides Dir geweihtDer beides mir verleiht.
Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of Herr von Salieri's appointment as Kapellmeister in Vienna
Kindest and best of all!Wisest and greatest of all!As long as I have tearsand refresh my spirit with art, both shall be dedicated to you, who bestowed both on me.

Composer
Franz Peter Schubert was an late Classical and early Romantic composer. He produced a vast oeuvre during his short life, composing more the 600 vocal works (largely Lieder), and well as several symphonies, operas, and a large body of piano music. He was uncommonly gifted from a young age, but appreciation of his music was limited during his lifetime. His work became more popular in the decades after his death, and was praised by 19th century composers, including Mendelssohn, Schumann, Brahms, and Liszt.
