Franz Schubert - Kupelwieser Waltz (Manuscript 1826)

Very charming waltz which Franz Schubert is believed to have played on Leopold Kupelwieser\'s wedding on September 13, 1826. According to the notes, the music was never written down by the composer, but passed on from generation to generation by ear. Finally in 1943, Mautner Markhof (born Kupelwieser) asked the composer Richard Strauss, a friend of the family, to transcribe it. The composer rose galantly to the task, adding a few refinements of his own, as Schubert connoiseurs are quick to point out. The painting in this video was done by Leopold Kupelwieser and Schubert can be seen standing on the back of the coach (slightly bending over) during one of the frequent trips to the countryside with his beloved friends.

Every day before playing piano, put both hands on a table and stretch all the fingers as far as they can go for about a minute.

Bed?ich Smetana - died in a Prague Insane Asylum of paralysis due to possible syphillis Enrique Granados - drowned trying to save his wife in a German U-boat torpedo

What grade level? Syphilis-induced insanity, its root cause being an STD, might not be appropriate for younger kids.

To clarify on Anton Webern, it was an inexperienced army Chef who was nervous and who should never have been on a sting operation to try to catch a war profiteer. A few others:Jean-Marie Leclair was stabbed to death, possibly by his estranged wife.Ernest Chausson died in a bicycle accident, he lost control on a steep hill and fell off his bike.Enrique Granados while in atlantic transit his boat was hit by a German U-Boat.Gesualdo Murdered his wife and her lover upon finding them in the act of cheating on him.

I might suggest looking into MacDowell's death, something about complications from syphilis, severe criticism from the pres of Columbia U., and an accident in a hansom cab led to a crippling mental breakdown, reducing him to a child-like state his last 2 years.

Here are some more:JS Bach - Died from infections following unsuccessful surgery designed to cure his blindness.Arthur Butterworth - Died in action in the Battle of the Somme in 1916.Hugo Wolf - Died completely insane from the affects of syphilis.František Kotswara - Died of erotic strangulation and the cutting-off of his testicles (at his request!). The prostitute at whose hands he accidentally died narrowly escaped a murder charge.César Franck - Died after being run over by a horse and carriage.Viktor Ulmann, Hans Krása, Pavel Haas, Ervín Schulhoff - all murdered by the Nazis in concentration camps near the end of WWII.Johann Schobert - Died after eating poisonous mushrooms he insisted were safe.

Louis Vierne suffered either a stroke or a heart attack while giving his 1750th organ recital at Notre-Dame de Paris on the evening of 2 June 1937. He had completed the main concert, which members of the audience said showed him at his full powers - "as well as he has ever played." Directly after he had finished playing he suddenly pitched forward, and fell off the bench as his foot hit the low "E" pedal of the organ. He lost consciousness as the single note echoed throughout the church. He had thus fulfilled his oft-stated lifelong dream - to die at the console of the great organ of Notre-Dame. Maurice Duruflé, another noted French organist of the time was at his side at the time of his death.
