On 20th October I got a postcard from Austria.
It shows a portrait of Franz Schubert. Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer who despite his early death at the age of 31 left a big and diverse oeuvre. During his life the appreciation for his music was limited, but later musicians discovered his work and he is now considered to be among the greatest composers of Western Classical music and especialy of the early Romantic era.
A personalised stamp and a special postmark about the Bicentenary of Schubert's time in Sankt Pölten were used here. Schubert was invited to the town by the local bishop and there he composed parts of his opera Alfonso und Estrella.
Thank You very much Anita!
