It is going alright.
1818 was the year one of Schubert’s works was published for the first time when a song was added as an extra music publication to a calendar. Meanwhile, a secular piece was premiered in public.
Schubert spent the summer that followed in Hungary teaching piano and vocal skills to the two daughters of Count Johann Karl Esterházy on his estate in Zseliz.
He earned for the first time more than he spent and returned to Vienna with a small capital.
Again, it is a friend, the poet Johann Baptist Mayrhofer (1787-1836), who provides Franz with shelter and let him move into his residence in Vienna.
