Info for Franz Schubert: Deutsche Tänze with Orchestra

Life and death lay close together for Schubert – both in his private life and in his art. He liked to play music for his friends to dance to, and wrote around 500 dances for piano; some of them were actually Gebrauchsmusik (“utility music”), but others were chamber music works that merely picked up on the style and rhythm of a particular dance. These included waltzes, ländler, minuets, ecossaises and German dances. An anecdote has been passed down that at one of the gatherings of friends, the ban on dancing during Lent was not observed, whereupon the police arrived and enforced everyone to respect it. Schubert apparently said: „They do that to me on purpose, because they know full well how much I love to make dance music!” His dances do, however, form a happy contrast to the longing for death that resonates in so many of his songs.
