"Although it was not always easy for musician Franz Schubert to practice his music, he was supported immensely by his friends, who believed in his talent and wanted the world to hear his work."-- "Franz Schubert was only eleven when he auditioned for the Emperor's Choir School in Vienna, a place where everyone loved music. Franz barely spoke a word, but he sang like an angel, and his friends took to calling him "Little Mushroom" because he was small. As Franz continued to study and practice his music, his friends were amazed by his talent. The last thing Franz's father wanted was for his son to be a musician--surely he would starve!--but Franz's friends refused to let him quit. They vowed to help Franz devote himself to his music, and to make sure the world heard their talented friend. Franz Schubert would go on to write a thousand pieces of music. Discover the true story of a prolific composer and musician in this beautiful tale about the strength of friendship and the rewards of hard work in finding success." -- Amazon.com.
