Joseph von Spaun's apartment · Vienna · 15 December 1826

A Schubertiade

Franz Schubert almost never played in concert halls. His music lived in friends' living rooms, at evenings so famous they got their own name: Schubertiades. On this night at Joseph von Spaun's, the great baritone Vogl sang nearly thirty of Schubert's songs, and afterwards everyone went out to eat and drink. The words are imagined.
