Franz Schubert
Schubert
also: Schubert, Franz Schubert
Austrian composer (1797–1828), the supreme master of the German Lied and an icon of Viennese Romanticism. In Sebastian im Traum, the sister plays 'a sonata by Schubert' — the domestic music becomes elegiac, framing the poet's grief in a specifically Viennese musical idiom.

Franz Schubert (1797–1828), the Viennese composer whose piano sonatas and song-cycles supply Trakl's primary musical analogue; the sister playing Schubert is a signature autobiographical image.
