Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Franz Schubert, Vol. 1 of 2: Translated From the German of Kreissle Von Hellborn
A word of explanation, rather than apology, is due from me to Mr. E. Wilberforce, who has epitomised the work I have translated, and published a short memoir of Franz Schubert. I was not aware that such a work existed, until I had more than half com pleted my translation; but it seems to me that apart from much valuable and curious information contained in the notes, a catalogue of Schubert's works was much wanted, and that the biography in its entirety may not only be useful as a book of reference to musicians, but also interesting to the general reader.
