Franz Schubert (31 January 1797 – 19 November 1828) was one of the greatest nineteenth century composers.
Bad Planning
In the cycle he called Winter Journey,
A lover leaves, ne’er to return, he
Reaches his end
With no wife and no friend,
And, I’m guessing, no probate attorney.

Duly Noted
There are very few symphonies finer
Than that Schubert wrote in b minor;
It isn’t diminished
By being "Unfinished", —
Or so says the note on the liner.
