If ever there was an absent-minded musician, it was Franz Schubert. He was known to write music on anything within reach: a tablecloth, a menu, any scrap of paper. Franz slept with his glasses on so that he didn’t have to waste time searching for them in the morning. As a teacher in his father’s school, he would spend class time composing music, rather than teaching the six-year-olds their daily lessons.
