Diabelli in 1824. He handled the commercial part whereas Diabelli cared for the artistic part of the company.

As one of the greatest of all violin virtuosos he was compared to Paganini by both Schumann and Berlioz. As a composer he was an important reformer of the concerto and in this regard according to Grove "can be compared to Liszt." At the time of the present publication and inscription the instrumental music of Schubert was largely untried on European concert stages. Vieuxtemps was an important early performer of some of the Schubert quartets in particular performing them in London and elsewhere. <br style=""> Diabelli unknown books

Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert 1780-1860 was a "German physician and naturalist who began his studies with theology but turned to medicine and established himself as a doctor in Altenburg Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg. He soon gave up his practice however and devoted himself to research in Dresden. He gave renowned lectures on fringe science animal magnetism clairvoyance and dream and in 1819 he occupied the chair in natural history in Erlangen where he studied botany forestry mineralogy and geognosy. In 1827 he moved for the last time to Munich where he was appointed professor; it was here that the highly popular and friendly Schubert found an embittered opponent in Lorenz Oken. Schubert aimed to create a religiously-grounded interpretation of the cosmos. His masterpiece "Symbolism of Dreams" 1814 was one of the most famous books of its time exercising influence over E. T. A. Hoffmann and even Sigmund Freud and C. G. Jung. Schubert advocated an ecumenical "awakened Christianity" which found evidence for God both in Nature and in the human soul. Synthesising the Bible with the philosophy of Schelling he was a major figure in the "later Enlightenment". In his "History of the Soul" 1830 Schubert again attempted to fuse the philosophy of Herder and Schelling with the Christian tradition." From Wikipedia. J. F. Steinkopf unknown
