Franz Schubert (1797–1828) was the son of a schoolmaster who had settled in Vienna. Schubert was educated as a chorister of the Imperial Court Chapel. He later qualified as a schoolteacher and briefly joined his father in the classroom, although this was an intermittent arrangement. He spent most of his life in Vienna, enjoying the company of friends, but he never held a position in the musical establishment nor attracted the kind of patronage that Beethoven had enjoyed 20 years earlier. Illness, the result of a syphilitic infection, clouded his final years, and he died aged 31, leaving much unfinished. He is most notably remembered for his songs, and his talent for melody is evident in all his compositions.

The Piano sonata in E flat major, D. 568 by Franz Schubert is a sonata for solo piano. It is a transposition, revision, and completion of the Sonata in D flat major D. 567. The D-flat major version was composed in June 1817, while the E-flat major revision and completion, published in 1829 after Schubert's death as Op. posth. 122, dates from sometime around 1826.
