JOSEPH HAYDN.
Well, Franz Schubert also lived for a time with the Esterhazy family. He was piano teacher to the children of Count Johann. Franz was then twenty-one years old.
In what year was he twenty-one?
A good friend of Schubert's was Michael Vogl. He was a famous singer, who did all he could to make Schubert's songs known.
They took little vacation trips together and were good companions. When you read more about this singer's friendship for Franz Schubert you will like him for being so kind to one who had very little pleasure in life.
He looks like a good friend even in a picture—do you not think so?

Once when Schubert and Vogl were enjoying a vacation tour in the mountains, Franz read Scott's Lady of the Lake, which was printed in the year 1810, when Schubert was thirteen years old.
