Hallo Ihr Lieben,

ich arbeite gerade an einer Dokumentation über Franz Schubert für ARTE, zu seinem 200. Todestag 2028. Der Film soll kein musikwissenschaftliches Porträt werden, sondern von persönlichen Geschichten handeln und der Frage nachgehen, warum Musik, die Schubert vor 200 Jahren für einen kleinen Freundeskreis in Wien schrieb, heute noch Menschen überall auf der Welt berührt.

Ich suche keine Fachleute. Ich suche Menschen, für die Schubert und seine Musik irgendwann wichtig geworden ist. Vielleicht hat euch ein Lied durch eine schwere Zeit geholfen. Vielleicht lief ein bestimmtes Stück in einer Nacht, an die ihr euch bis heute erinnert. Solche Geschichten würde ich gern hören – gerade die ungewöhnlichen, die man sonst kaum jemandem erzählt.

Schreibt gern in die Kommentare oder schickt mir eine Nachricht, wenn ihr mögt. Ich freue mich über alles, was ihr erzählt. Danke fürs Lesen.

Hi everyone,

I'm a filmmaker working on a documentary about Franz Schubert, made for the European channel ARTE around the 200th anniversary of his death in 2028. It isn't meant to be a purely musicological portrait. I'm interested in something more personal: why music that Schubert wrote 200 years ago, for a small circle of friends in Vienna, still means something to people all over the world today.

I'm not looking for experts. I'm looking for people who don't work in music professionally, but for whom a piece by Schubert became personally important at some point. Maybe a song carried you through a hard time. Maybe a particular piece was playing at a funeral, or on a long drive, or on a night you still remember. Maybe you play something of his at home and have never once been to a concert.

Those are the stories I'd like to hear — especially the quiet ones people rarely tell.

If you're willing, share it in the comments or send me a message. I'm grateful for anything you write, with no expectation attached. If I later end up meeting anyone for the film, I'd discuss all of that with you personally and in good time.

Thanks for reading.
