Franz Schubert

Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was born in Vienna, Austria in 1797. His father was a school teacher and an amateur cellist. By the time young Franz was eight years old, his father had taught him to play violin. He also studied piano and voice, and in fact, when he turned 11 years old, he was accepted into the prestigious Imperial Choir.

By the age of 18, Schubert was composing full time, often writing a piece in several minutes or over the course of an afternoon. Although he wrote symphonies, sonatas, and string quartets, Schubert’s greatest gift was the art song (voice with piano accom-paniment), of which he composed over 600. Melodies just kept coming into his head, and he would write them down on table-cloths, napkins, or his cuffs if he didn’t have paper on hand.

Schubert liked people and they liked him. He had little money, yet many of his friends were quite wealthy and were of high social standing. They were lawyers, government officials, businessmen, and they looked after his needs, often providing him with enough money to live on. In the evenings, Schubert and his friends would gather to hear his music. These parties became known as “Schubertiades.” Often, the most famous singers of the day would come to sing his songs while he accompanied them.

Due to severe illness that he could not overcome, Schubert died in 1828 at the age of 31. Although his close circle of friends and colleagues knew of his great output, it was only after his passing that his musical genius received the recognition it deserved.

Art Songs

Art songs are usually written for one voice with piano accompaniment. They are short pieces of high literary quality that tell stories and express human emotions in a way that touches everyone. Art songs can be traced back to the Medieval Period, how-ever Franz Schubert was one composer who helped bring them to a significant degree of popularity during the 1800s. The lyrical beauty of his melodic phrases in partnership with the captivating poetry were practically unrivaled in the genre of art songs.

About the Composition

While Der Tanz (The Dance) doesn’t formally fall into the Art Song category, it is a superb sampling of Schubert’s ability to cre-ate tuneful phrases found in art songs. Der Tanz was composed in 1828 for four voices (SATB), with piano accompaniment. It was not published until after his death in 1892.

Kjos Music’s Guide to © CopyrightComposers rely on the income that their compositions generate, and it is the job of the copyright holder to protect the work from infringement. Copyright laws can be pretty tricky to navigate, so here are a few helpful tips to guide you through the process.

Adjudicator CopiesDuring contest and festival season, the majority of the inquiries we receive concern making photocopies of scores to meet specific requirements for the judges at a festival.If you’re performing a concert selection out of one of our method books (Tradition of Excellence, String Basics: Steps to Success, First Place for Jazz, among others), permission may already be given to make the necessary photocopies for judges at these festivals. Please refer to the notices printed in the teacher score on the specific piece.If a student is performing a solo from one of the method books listed above, permission is already given. In addition, a photocopy may be given to the accompanist.Extra scores for our band and string repertoire (Beginning BandWorks, BandWorks, Conservatory Editions, StringTracks, and Steps to Successful Literature, among others) are available for purchase from your favorite music dealer. If you’re performing a work from a series that’s not listed above, please contact us for permission.

Making an Audio or Video RecordingA license is required any time you make an audio or video recording of a copyrighted work. Audio recordings are compulsory, meaning, we can’t deny your request; you just need to apply for the Mechanical License and pay the royalty. The royalty rate is set by the Library of Congress. For current rates, please visit www.copyright.gov.The license to make a video of a performance, known as a Synchronization License, is not compulsory. Permission must be obtained from the copyright holder before distributing any copies, regardless if they are being sold or given away for free.

Arranging for Marching Band or Another EnsembleWe’re pleased to grant licenses to make a marching band (or other) arrangement of one of our concert works. However, permission is required before work can begin, and there are a few works whose composers have indicated that they do not want their compositions to be altered. Please contact us to make sure the piece you’re interested in is available for licensing.If you’re planning to play the original piece without any alterations or additions, then a license isn’t needed. However, for example, if you’re rewriting the brass parts for marching instruments (mellophones, bugles), or adding marching percussion, or making cuts, adding repeats, or creating a medley with another composition, a license is required.

What If I Want To … ?If you’d like to use a composition in any other way, please contact us and we would be glad to advise you.Contest and festival season is a busy time for our Copyright Office. Please contact us at least three weeks before your concert date so that we may help you in time. Please visit www.kjos.com and click on the Licensing tab to find out more information or to submit a license request.We’re so pleased that you’ve chosen to perform one of our pieces! We appreciate your support and we want to make the licensing process as easy as possible for you.
