The "chronicling of small-beer, " which fate inflicts on some, eventually affects their very features. And never was a genius condemned to more unexhilarating tasks, or fostered in more hope- less obscurity. The son of a poor parish school- master picking up a musical education here and there in sparrow-fashion, as a means of liveli- hood, precocious, but no performer, pains- taking, yet hardly brilliant, Schubert mastered the principles of his art quite early in life, and acquired a knowledge ...of vocal and instrumental music which stands him in good stead. He has been composing, with almost fatal fluency, ever since he was thirteen years old. Music is, in short, "the essence of his being. " But few composers can find a hearing unheralded by influential friends, or unaided by executive ability ; and Schubert has had neither one nor the other. 10 A DAY WITH SCHUBERT His only means of earning a bare liveli- hood, for three years, was to teach in his father's school, not music, but the three R's; to instruct the lower-class urchins of Vienna, under circumstances of unutterable weariness.
