Amazon Review
If you want to put Schubert in context and are willing to delve into more esoteric matters, this exhaustive book of biographies might be just the ticket. Schubert himself gets the first and longest entry, but you will also find such gentlemen as August von Schaeffer, a doctor who, in 1823, treated Schubert for something that might have been syphilis, and Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock (1724-1805), a poet whose words Schubert sometimes set. This is one to sample or to use as a reference, and is a definite must for the dedicated Schubertian.

Product Description
This lively, fascinating book is the first of its kind on Schubert. It appears at a time when interest in Schubert's life and compositions is greater than ever, and its publication coincides with the celebration of the bicentenary of Schubert's birth in 1797. The book opens with a chronicle of the composer's life, followed by more than 300 biographical entries on Schubert's friends and acquintances, and on the numerous persons with whom he became associated through his music. There are also articles on later "Schubertians" who have greatly enriched our knowledge of his life and works.
