①Franz Schubert was a music giant (巨匠). He wrote several symphonies (交响乐) and operas, about600 songs, and had many other musical works.
②Schubert was born in a musical family in Vienna on January 31, 1797. His father was a teacher, and he taught young Schubert to play the violin. One of Schubert's brothers also gave him piano lessons. Schubert was really good at writing all kinds of music. Schubert started working at his father's school in1814, but he didn't like teaching. So he spent most of his free time writing music. During that time, he wrote his first full symphony and opera. He also wrote many famous songs.
③In 1818, Schubert gave up teaching to make music full time. It was a good change. People liked his music, and they even paid him to write music for them. Schubert finally made money from his musical works, but they didn't make him rich.
④Schubert died at the age of 31 on November 19, 1828. Schubert and his music were popular during his time. And people still listen to his music today.
