{"product_id":"9780300204087","title":"Schubert : A Musical Wayfarer by Lorraine Byrne Bodley","description":"An insightful biography of the great composer, revealing Schubert's complex and fascinating private life alongside his musical genius ? Brilliant, short-lived, incredibly prolific-Schubert is one of the most intriguing figures in music history. While his music attracts a wide audience, much of his private life remains shrouded in mystery, and significant portions of his work have been overlooked.    ? In this major new biography, Lorraine Byrne Bodley takes a detailed look into Schubert's life, from his early years at the Stadtkonvikt to the harrowing battle with syphilis that led to his death at the age of thirty-one. Drawing on extensive archival research in Vienna and the Czech Republic, and reconsidering the meaning of some of his best-known works, Bodley provides a fuller account than ever before of Schubert's extraordinary achievement and incredible courage. This is a compelling new portrait of one of the most beloved composers of the nineteenth century.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56232120025461,"sku":"9780300204087","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780300204087.jpg?v=1762272315","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780300204087","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
