Come now people, "who the hells that" Franz Schubert is Franz Schubert!

Does anyone like classical music here?
Who are your favorites?

I like a lot of music from the classical and romantic periods, especially.

ha thats quoted from me. but seriously who the hell is he? what time period and country. ive never heard the name.

Schubert is a musical giant, like Brahms, or Beethoven, or Haydn, or Mozart. (I'm hoping you've heard of at least one of these men.) In short: he was an Austrian, and lived most of his life in the first quarter of the 19th century.

This is the best midi site for classical composers I've ever seen.

Dimitri Shostakovitch's symphony number 5 finale in D minor is great. There is just something about the late nineteenth and early twentieth century russian composers Tchikvosky(sp?)had his moments too such as marche slave and 1812 overture.
