a-) In fact he did! My favorites are Piano Concerto no 2 in D major and Violin Concerto no 4 in B minor.


b-) And also Cello Concerto no 3!


c-) He wrote many concertos but all of them got lost.


d-) Nope they didn't get lost, the guy who catalogued Schubert's works, Otto Erich Deutsch, did forget to list them!


e-) As some people say, Schubert wasn't a technically determined virtuoso for neither piano nor violin; that's why he didn't write concerto but some of his piano works, like Wanderer Fantasy, waited some years for virtuosos like Franz Liszt, to get the attention they deserve apart from the fact that Schubert's violin works are extremely difficult to perform for any violinist in the history of music.


f-) Schubert died at 31 age months after the first public concert devoted to his music where he first time listened to some of his music by his own ears while being performed.

Optimistic by minutes of applause at the end of this public concert, in his final months, one of his future plans was to write a violin concerto, which could had perhaps been modelled on his Fantasy for Violin and Piano D.934, the video below, one of Schubert's last works before death, now to be considered one of the most touching and most mysterious music he ever composed.








That's basically why on Schubert's thombstone it is written


"Here music has buried a great treasure,

but even far fairer hopes..."



g-) Who cares if Schubert composed any concerto or not.

Because the music above, Fantasy for Violin and Piano D.934, he wrote as a model for a future concerto was published 22 years after his death in 1850 and got forgotten for almost a century until pianist Rudolf Serkin and violinist Adolf Busch recorded the work in the 1930's as another discovered "late works" of Schubert's short life...

So not all the treasure has to be buried somewhere underground....

In fact, above ground there really is treasure!
