François Schubert (né Franz Anton Schubert [the Younger]) (22 July 1808 – 12 April 1878) was a violinist and composer.
Un autre
François Schubert composed concert pieces, études, and chamber music, but is largely known for the bagatelle The Bee, – a piece that is often misattributed to Franz Schubert due to the similarity of the two men's names. – adapted from Wikipedia
Franz Anton Schubert, called François,
Rued the galling trick of chance
That let the uninformed bourgeois
Confuse his name with Schubert, (Franz).
“It is,” he said, “the coup de gras,
A most appalling circumstance, –
To see the best-known piece by moi
Get credited to Schubert, (Franz).”
