Franz barely spoke a word, but he sang like an angel, and his friends took to calling him "Little Mushroom" because he was small. As Franz continued to study and practice his music, his friends were amazed by his talent. The last thing Franz's father wanted was for his son to be a musician—surely he would starve!—but Franz's friends refused to let him quit. They vowed to help Franz devote himself to his music, and to make sure the world heard their talented friend. Franz Schubert would go on to write a thousand pieces of music.
