Franz Peter Schubert (31st January 1797–19th November 1828) was an Austrian composer, considered the last master of the Viennese Classical school (to which Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Joseph Haydn also belonged), and one of the earliest proponents of musical Romanticism.

Although he died at the age of 31, he wrote some six hundred romantic songs as well as many symphonies, sonatas, string quartets, operas, and many other works. With a natural flair for melodies and lyricism, Schubert is counted among the most gifted composers of the 19th century.

Public appreciation of his work during his lifetime for a long time was limited, but when he died at the age of 31 over 100 of his compositions had already appeared in print. He was never able to secure adequate permanent employment, and for most of his life was supported by friends or employed by his father.

All I want to do is beat the 100 degree heat with high air conditioning, a blanket, hot coca, and winterreise in endless rotation.

He made so many beautiful piano pieces. But my tip is: Sviatoslav Richter's recording of the piano sonata D960.

i think the melody line sounds quite similar to gcharles gounod's ave maria. but both are really great.

Listen to Fantasie for Four Hands, D. 940; it is breathtakingly beautiful and wonderfully commanding.
