François Schubert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

François Schubert (né Franz Anton Schubert (the Younger); 22 July 1808 in Dresden – 12 April 1878 in Dresden) was a violinist and composer in Dresden.

After training with concertmaster Antonio Rolla in Dresden, Schubert studied violin with Charles Philippe Lafont in Paris and began working under the name François Schubert. He played in the Staatskapelle in Dresden from 1823 to 1873.

The son of church composer Franz Anton Schubert (the Elder) (1768–1824), Schubert was married to the singer and actress Maschinka Schubert (1815–1882) who was the daughter of horn player and composer Georg Abraham Schneider. Their daughter was the opera singer Georgina Schubert (1840–1878).

Schubert composed concert pieces, etudes, and chamber music, but is largely known for the bagatelle The Bee, a perpetuum mobile for violin and piano - unfortunately a piece that is often misattributed to Franz Schubert due to the similarity of the two men' names.
