Only direct quotations from these sources have been attributed in the text. ![]() To make things worse for us, Schober and his family also attracted much defamatory gossip, so even more speculative strands are woven into his biography – yet more threads to untangle. Despite recent punctilious archival work, the general Schubert literature is still full of errors concerning Franz von Schober, the legacy of a century and a half of confusion. We write 'untangling' because in our other pieces on Schubert we have often had cause to note that biography abhors a vacuum should one exist at any time, it is immediately filled with speculations, which, when repeated often enough – once is usually enough, though – become rock solid facts, ready for further distribution. ![]() Leopold Kupelwieser: Franz von Schober, 1821. So many questions, so many contradictions! We can only pick an end out of the tangled mess, declare it to be the beginning and start untangling it knot by knot. At moments he is revered, at other moments reviled. All in all he was probably Schubert's closest friend, but his life and his relationship with the composer and his friends is a tangled ball of knotty puzzles. Schober is an extremely important figure for Schubert scholarship and a lot of these unknowns relate to him. We Schubert fans know of both categories all too well. Our only confident statement can be that there are surely puzzles we don't even know about – in the Rumsfeld formulation: known unknowns and unknown unknowns. In Schubert's biography there are puzzles everywhere. We cannot put this thing off any longer, this picking over the life of the most puzzling – the unequivocally most baffling figure with whom we Schubertians have to deal: Franz von Schober (1796-1882).
