Vogl made Schubert acquainted with the musical circles of the town, particularly with the home and circle of Sylvester Paumgartner, the musical patron of Steyr at that time. Schubert’s relations with Steyr and with Paumgartner in particular were vividly recounted by Schubert’s friend Albert Stadler, who also came from Steyr, in his memorandums addressed to Ferdinand Luib in 1858. Stadler’s report is the only source concerning the origin of the Quintet.“You are probably familiar with Schubert’s Quintet for pianoforte, violin, viola, violoncello and double bass with the variations on his ‘Trout’
