Ferdinand Schubert

He is notable for his compositions and for his role in publishing the complete works of his younger brother Franz Schubert.

He received training in piano and violin from his father, Franz Theodor Schubert, and his older brother Ignaz, later from Michael Holzer, and finally from the public teacher of the choir of St. Anna, Joseph Drechsler.

In 1810, Schubert became organist at the Lichtentaler Parish and was also assistant teacher at an orphanage in Vienna.

[4] Ferdinand also wrote numerous educational journals and a number of sacred compositions and smaller pieces for school use.

Although he worked hard all his life, his family lived in poor economic conditions.
