• Schubert was an Austrian composer
• He wrote over 1000 pieces of music, even though he only lived to the age of 31! 
• He wrote over 600 songs! Some of these are among the greatest songs ever written.
• His ‘Unfinished’ Symphony really is unfinished and was discovered by surprise after Schubert died. It is one of his greatest works, but he didn’t even tell his friends that he was writing it!
