Franz Schubert is, without a doubt, the leader of the lieder. He composed over 600 songs in his lifetime, though he only lived into his early thirties. He did a good deal of chamber music and symphonic writing as well, though a good portion of this is incomplete. Schubert was rather secretive in his lifestyle and about his compositional processes; he was shy to show anything he didn't himself enjoy. Fortunately, he along with everyone else found his own melodies to be beautiful. A few key works: Die Winterreise, The Trout Quintet, Unfinished Symphony (#8), Death and the Maiden

Take the Dead German Composer Test!

Schubert also wrote Erlkonig which was a song that I fell in love with in college and haven't heard since. It may be time to start collecting some of his works.
