Editing Franz Schubert (section)

==Recognition==
A feeling of regret for the loss of potential masterpieces caused by Schubert's early death at age 31 was expressed in the epitaph on his large tombstone written by Grillparzer: "Here music has buried a treasure, but even fairer hopes."<ref name="Duncan80">[[#Duncan|Duncan (1905)]], p. 80</ref> Some prominent musicians share a similar view, including the pianist [[Radu Lupu]], who said: "[Schubert] is the composer for whom I am really most sorry that he died so young. ... Just before he died, when he wrote his beautiful two-cello String Quintet in C, he said very modestly that he was trying to learn a little more about counterpoint, and he was perfectly right. We'll never know in what direction he was going or would have gone."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Montparker |first=Carol |date=May–June 1981|title=Radu Lupu: Acclaim in Spite of Himself|magazine=Clavier |page=13 }}</ref> However, others have expressed disagreement with this early view. For instance, [[Robert Schumann]] said: "It is pointless to guess at what more [Schubert] might have achieved. He did enough; and let them be honoured who have striven and accomplished as he did",<ref>[[#CambridgeCompanion|Gibbs (1997)]], p. 18</ref> and the pianist [[András Schiff]] said that: "Schubert lived a very short life, but it was a very concentrated life. In 31 years, he lived more than other people would live in 100 years, and it is needless to speculate what could he have written had he lived another 50 years. It's irrelevant, just like with Mozart: these are the two natural geniuses of music."<ref name=schiff/>

The [[Wiener Schubertbund]], one of Vienna's leading choral societies, was founded in 1863, whilst the [[Gründerzeit]] was taking place. The Schubertbund quickly became a rallying point for schoolteachers and other members of the Viennese middle class who felt increasingly embattled during the Gründerzeit and the aftermath of the [[Panic of 1873]]. In 1872, the dedication of the Schubert Denkmal, a gift to the city from Vienna's leading male chorus, the [[Wiener Männergesang-Verein]], took place; the chorus performed at the event.<ref>[[#Botstein|Botstein (1997)]], p. 35</ref> The Denkmal was designed by Austrian sculptor [[Carl Kundmann]] and is located in Vienna's [[Stadtpark, Vienna|Stadtpark]].

Schubert's chamber music continues to be popular. In a [[Classic 100 chamber (ABC)|survey]] conducted by the [[ABC Classic FM]] radio station in 2008, Schubert's chamber works dominated the field, with the ''Trout Quintet'' ranked first, the [[String Quintet (Schubert)|String Quintet in C major]] ranked second, and the [[Notturno (Schubert)|Notturno in E-flat major for piano trio]] ranked third. Furthermore, eight more of his chamber works were among the 100 ranked pieces: both piano trios, the [[String Quartet No. 14 (Schubert)|String Quartet No. 14 (''Death and the Maiden'')]], the [[String Quartet No. 15 (Schubert)|String Quartet No. 15]], the [[Arpeggione Sonata]], the [[Octet (Schubert)|Octet]], the [[Fantasia in F minor (Schubert)|Fantasie in F minor for piano four-hands]], and the [[Adagio and Rondo Concertante|''Adagio and Rondo Concertante'' for piano quartet]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/classic/classic100/chamber/100list.htm|access-date=24 August 2010|title=The Classical Music Chamber Music 100|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Co.}}</ref>

''[[The New York Times]]''{{'}} chief music critic [[Anthony Tommasini]] ranked Schubert as the fourth greatest composer, writing:<blockquote><blockquote>You have to love the guy, who died at 31, ill, impoverished and neglected except by a circle of friends who were in awe of his genius. For his hundreds of songs alone — including the haunting cycle ''Winterreise'', which will never release its tenacious hold on singers and audiences — Schubert is central to our concert life. The baritone Sanford Sylvan once told me that hearing the superb pianist Stephen Drury give searching accounts of the three late Schubert sonatas on a single program was one of the most transcendent musical experiences of his life. Schubert’s first few symphonies may be works in progress. But the ''Unfinished'' and especially the Ninth Symphony are astonishing. The Ninth paves the way for Bruckner and prefigures Mahler.<ref>{{cite news| last=Tommasini| first=Anthony| author-link=Anthony Tommasini| date=January 21, 2011| title=The Greatest| work=[[The New York Times]]| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/23/arts/music/23composers.html}}</ref></blockquote></blockquote>

===Tributes by other musicians===

From the 1830s through the 1870s, [[Franz Liszt]] transcribed and arranged several of Schubert's works, particularly the songs. Liszt, who was a significant force in spreading Schubert's work after his death, said Schubert was "the most poetic musician who ever lived."<ref name="Suttoni">[[#Suttoni|Liszt (1989)]], p. 144</ref> Schubert's symphonies were of particular interest to [[Antonín Dvořák]]. [[Hector Berlioz]] and [[Anton Bruckner]] acknowledged the influence of the ''Great C Major'' Symphony.<ref name="Newbould404" /> Robert Schumann, after seeing the manuscript of the symphony in Vienna in 1838, brought it to the attention of Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn then conducted the first performance of the symphony, albeit in a heavily abridged version, in Leipzig in 1839.<ref>[[#BrownNG|Brown (1983)]], p. 73</ref>

In the 20th century, composers including [[Richard Strauss]], [[Anton Webern]], [[Benjamin Britten]], [[George Crumb]], and [[Hans Zender]] championed or paid homage to Schubert in some of their works. Britten, an accomplished pianist, accompanied many of Schubert's Lieder and performed many piano solo and duet works.<ref name="Newbould404">[[#Newbould|Newbould (1999)]], pp. 403–404</ref> German electronic music group [[Kraftwerk]] has a track titled "Franz Schubert" on their 1977 album ''[[Trans-Europe Express (album)|Trans-Europe Express]]''.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Simpson |first1=Dave |title=Kraftwerk: their 30 greatest songs, ranked! |journal=The Guardian |date=7 May 2020 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/07/kraftwerk-their-30-greatest-songs-ranked |access-date=5 September 2022 |language=en}}</ref>

===Commemorations===
In 1897, the 100th anniversary of Schubert's birth was marked in the musical world by festivals and performances dedicated to his music. In Vienna, there were ten days of concerts, and Emperor [[Franz Joseph I of Austria|Franz Joseph]] gave a speech recognising Schubert as the creator of the art song, and one of Austria's favourite sons.<ref name="Rodenberg118">[[#Rodenberg|Rodenberg (1900)]], p. 118</ref><ref name="MT189702">[[#MusicalTimes189702|''The Musical Times'', February 1897]], p. 113</ref>

In 1928, Schubert Week was held in Europe and the United States to mark the centenary of the composer's death. Works by Schubert were performed in churches, in concert halls, and on radio stations. A competition, with top prize money of [[US$]]10,000 and sponsorship by the [[Columbia Records|Columbia Phonograph Company]], was held for "original symphonic works presented as an apotheosis of the lyrical genius of Schubert, and dedicated to his memory".<ref name="time1928" /> The winning entry was [[Kurt Atterberg]]'s sixth symphony.<ref name="time1928">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,928288,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090505192207/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,928288,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 May 2009|title=Schubert Ecstasy|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=3 December 1928|access-date=8 April 2009}}</ref>
