How did Antonio Salieri influence Franz Schubert’s musical training?

Antonio Salieri played a significant role in the musical development of Franz Schubert. Their professional relationship began when Schubert was a student at the Stadtkonvikt, the principal boarding school in Vienna, where Salieri served as one of his tutors.1

Following Schubert’s departure from the college in 1812, he continued to study music privately under Salieri’s guidance for at least another three years. Salieri, who was a renowned composer and teacher, provided essential instruction that helped shape the young composer's skills during his formative years. Furthermore, the interest and encouragement of Schubert’s friends were instrumental in bringing his early compositions to the attention of Salieri, further supporting his development as a musician.12
