Franz Schubert
Portrait of Franz Schubert, oil on wood by Gábor Melegh, 1827; in the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest.
Franz Schubert left the Stadtkonvikt in 1812 because his voice broke, which ended his eligibility to remain in the imperial court chapel choir and the associated boarding school. Following his departure, he continued his musical studies privately with Antonio Salieri for at least three more years.1
