Our Schubert
His Enduring Legacy
David Schroeder
Audiences as well as other artists have responded to Franz Schubert’s music with passion, both during his time and in the past two centuries. Many musicians, painters, writers, and filmmakers have felt a strong bond with him, integrating his music into their own works in ways that have given their works greater depth. Our Schubert: His Enduring Legacy analyzes some of the uses of Schubert’s music, examining the man, his compositions, and the ways audiences and artists, both his contemporaries and their descendents, connect with him.
