| Summary | "Schubert and His Work" by Herbert F. Peyser is a biography written in the mid-20th century that provides insights into the life and musical contributions of Franz Schubert. The book explores the complexities of Schubert as a composer, highlighting his prolific output and the spiritual depth found within his works. The author aims to introduce readers, especially those less familiar with classical music, to the significance of Schubert's compositions throughout his tragically short life. In this biography, Peyser chronicles Schubert's journey from his humble beginnings in Vienna to becoming one of the most cherished composers in the classical music canon. The text delves into various phases of Schubert's life, including his early musical education, his struggles with poverty, and his relationships with contemporaries. Key compositions such as "Der Erlkönig," and the "Unfinished Symphony" are examined, providing context for their creation and significance. Through anecdotes, insights, and analyses, Peyser presents a vivid portrait of a man whose genius was often overshadowed by his health and circumstances, ultimately affirming Schubert's enduring legacy in the world of music.
