When the 31 year-old Schubert moved into his brother Ferdinand’s apartment in Vienna on September 1, 1828, for a short spell of familial care, he took thirteen pairs of socks with him. One can imagine him counting them out: just enough for a short stay. Ferdinand’s rest-cures had previously had positive results on Schubert’s variable health, and he was most likely in a cheerful frame of mind when he arrived at 6, Kettenbrückengasse. He undoubtedly expected to return later to his own apartment, where he had left the majority of his possessions. It didn’t happen. -
