Franz Schubert by Hadi Karimi | CC-BY-SA 4.0 | https://hadikarimi.com/cc-by-sa
Beethoven died in March of 1827. The same year, Franz Schubert was facing a fatal illness and knew his own time was going to be cut short. But he was still regarded as a composer of songs with little esteem as a composer of "serious" music. So with a 'vacancy' now left by Beethoven, and a last opportunity to fill it to any extent, in what would be his final year (he died in November 1828) Schubert composed some of his greatest large-scale works. One of them was his Piano Trio No. 1. Perhaps to lift his spirits as he fought illness and faced mortality, the Trio is an optimistic and cheerful work. As Robert Schumann later wrote of it, "One glance at Schubert's Trio and the troubles of our human existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again." The Piano Trio No. 1 in B-flat (op. 99) by Franz Schubert is today's Midday Masterpiece.
