  • 5. Mozart Statue Vienna
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had a powerful influence on the work of Ludwig van Beethoven. They are said to have met in Vienna in 1787, and Beethoven is said to have had a few lessons from Mozart.

The song in its original form is relatively short, and two further verses by Friedrich Reil were added to Diabelli's second edition of 1832. Although the German translation which Schubert used has been attributed to August Schlegel , the text is not exactly the same as the one which Schubert set: and this particular adaptation of Shakespeare had already been published as early as 1810 as the work of Abraham Voß, and again — under...
