Schubert followed his father into the teaching profession after graduating from high school and completing the year's obligatory training. The same year he began teaching - 1814 - he produced his first indisputable masterpiece, 'Gretchen am Spinnrade' ('Gretchen at her spinning wheel').
Schubert composed about 20,000 bars of music in 1815 alone, including nine religious compositions, a symphony, and over 150 songs, including eight in one day in October.
In 1822, Schubert contracted syphilis and became very sick. 'Die Winterreise' (The Winter Journey), a magnificent cycle of 24 songs, was written near the end of his life.
