They found Schubert hard at work, (1907). Creator: Unknown
They found Schubert hard at work, (1907). In 1817, Franz Schober takes Johann Vogl, a famous opera singer in Vienna, to meet his friend the young composer Schubert: On reaching the lodgings...they had found Schubert hard at work as usual, and the floor as well as the table strewn with sheets of music-paper...Schubert was overwhelmed by confusion, and had nothing to say in his own behalf. Vogl thereupon took up several of the songs, humming them to himself as he went along, and Schober, watching him intently, saw his interest deepen, until at length, despite his great experience as a singer, he was evidently impressed by what he read. When he left he shook Schuberts hand warmly, and said: There is stuff in you, but you squander your fine thoughts instead of making the most of them. An episode from the life of Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828). From " Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]

EDITORS COMMENTS
They found Schubert hard at work, (1907). In this photo print, we catch a glimpse of the young composer Franz Schubert engrossed in his creative process. The year is 1817, and Franz Schober, accompanied by renowned opera singer Johann Vogl, pays a visit to Schubert's humble abode in Vienna. As they enter the room, their eyes are immediately drawn to the scattered sheets of music-paper covering both table and floor. A testament to Schubert's tireless dedication and unyielding passion for his craft. Overwhelmed by embarrassment, he remains speechless while Vogl takes it upon himself to explore these musical treasures. With each passing moment, Vogl becomes increasingly captivated by what he discovers within those delicate notes. Despite his own expertise as a singer, he recognizes the brilliance that lies before him. As he hums through several songs with growing enthusiasm, Schober observes intently. Before departing from this extraordinary encounter, Vogl warmly shakes Schubert's hand and delivers words that resonate deeply: 'There is stuff in you but you squander your fine thoughts instead of making the most of them. ' These poignant words serve as both encouragement and admonition for the young composer who possesses immense talent yet struggles to fully harness its potential. This snapshot offers us an intimate glimpse into an episode from the life of Austrian composer Franz Schubert - a moment where admiration meets constructive criticism; where dreams intertwine with reality.
