[Publius]

I recommend Franz Schubert: A Biography by Elizabeth Norman McKay. It's become the definitive book on the composer, and it's quite eye-opening.

I also recommend "The Double Life of Franz Schubert", a British TV production available on DVD.

Thanks!

I do know that one of Franz Schubert’s most beloved songs “Ave Maria” was actually composed about a totally different “Lady”, the “Lady of the Lake”. Some Sheet Music carries the original title.
