THEMA Biography, Literature and Literary studies
Synopsis Five years separate the births of Rossini and Schubert, yet their lives are diametrically opposite. Gioachino dies old, rich, famous, and exhausted; Franz, on the other hand, dies very young, poor, and at the height of his productivity. Schubert was influenced by Rossini, whom he admired for his operas, which were a sensation in early 19th century Vienna. Rossini did not get to know Schubert's musical work. The medical histories of these two musical giants allow us to understand the cause of Rossini's creative eclipse and the reasons behind Schubert's premature death.
