Answer:
B) Schubert labored at great length over each of his compositions, which accounts for his small output.
Explanation:
Franz Peter Schubert wrote about 600 songs, as well as operas, symphonies and sonatas, among other works. He is considered one of the greatest composers of the 19th century, marking the transition from classical to romantic style. Franz
Schubert was born in 1797 in Lichtenthal, outside Vienna. His father was a schoolmaster and amateur musician. At age six, Schubert entered the Lichtenthal school. His father started him on the violin and his brother Ignaz taught him piano.
At the end of 1816 the composer broke with his father and gave himself to a bohemian life, surviving with the help of friends.
In 1818, he obtained the employment of teacher of Maria and Caroline, the two daughters of Count Esterhazy, in Zseliz, Hungary. But nostalgia made him quit his job and return to Vienna, where he returned to composing.
The last year of Schubert's life was marked by an ongoing request from the publishers for short piano works. These lyrics represent various moods. Works such as the song cycle "Canto do Swan", the masterpiece "Ninth Symphony in C Major" and "Mass in Mi Bemol Maior" appear in this period.
