fuckyeahhistorycrushes: Franz Schubert: 1797-1828 Schubert was an Austrian composer who is perhaps best known for his more than 600 lieder, all of which are ridiculously amazing. He was extremely prolific despite his short life, and would sometimes re-set the same poem three or four times if he liked it. In spite of his failing health, he still managed to compose one of the most beautiful song cycles ever written, Winterreise. He was ridiculously talented, pretty darn handsome, and wrote some gorgeous music. That’s why he is my history crush.
