At the Stadtkonvikt, Schubert was introduced to the overtures and symphonies of Mozart. In October 1808, he became a pupil at the Stadtkonvikt (Imperial seminary) through a choir scholarship.
Schubert first came to the attention of Antonio Salieri, then Vienna's leading musical authority, in 1804, when his vocal talent was recognized.
Schubert wrote many of his early string quartets for this ensemble. He also played the viola in the family string quartet, with brothers Ferdinand and Ignaz on violin and his father on the cello. Holzer's lessons seem to have mainly consisted of conversations and expressions of admiration and the boy gained more from his acquaintance with a friendly joiner's apprentice who used to take him to a neighboring pianoforte warehouse where he had the opportunity to practice on better instruments. At the age of seven, Schubert began receiving lessons from Michael Holzer, the local church organist and choirmaster. His father continued to teach him the basics of the violin, and his brother Ignaz gave him piano lessons. His formal musical education also started around the same time. The house in which Schubert was born, today Nussdorfer Strasse 54, in the 9th district of Vienna.Īt the age of five, Schubert began receiving regular instruction from his father and a year later was enrolled at his father's school.
