No musician can compare with Schubert in terms of quantity or artistic level of art songs, and this is the most outstanding. His songs are poetic and picturesque. He praised kind-hearted common people, especially those living at the bottom of the city, and showed infinite sympathy. But he boldly satirized and exposed the aristocrats of the upper class. His representative works include "The Devil", "Wild Rose" and the vocal suites "Beautiful Mill Girl", "Winter Journey", etc. The art songs he wrote integrate singing and accompaniment to fully express the musical image. His songs are full of country flavor and at the same time give the singer a wide range of performance. Many musicians have also adapted his songs into instrumental music and piano music. Many of his songs have been included in music academies , in primary and secondary school music textbooks. It can be said that every singer who uses bel canto sings Schubert's art songs, and uses this to measure his singing level, so people are accustomed to calling him the "King of Songs". .
