An Die Musik
It's Schubert's birthday.
He wrote some stirring symphonies and sublime chamber works.
But it's those songs that really get ya. Sincere and direct but artfully-crafted and never sacherine.
He was very good at what he did.

Ah yes, syphilis. Schubert and Schumann--the most romantic of Romantic composers--actually died from love.
