His early fame came as a performing artist on the piano; he was widely acclaimed. As he developed it was hisability to compose music, which he started doing before his hearing loss became severe. Opera was the only genre where he didn't shine.
Franz Kafka, born on the 3rd July 1883 in Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (what is now known as the Czech Republic), was an author of novels and short stories.
He was working for an insurance company when he began to write short stories in his spare time. Later he complained that he did not have enough spare time to devote to what he felt was his calling, which was writing stories. His (at the time) unique writing style, which included psychological brutality, archetypes of alienation, parent-child conflict, mysticism and labyrinths of bureaucracy, was influenced by his family life.
He is well known for works such as:
- Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis)
- Der Prozess (The Trial)
- Das Schloss (The Castle)
He died of tuberculosis on the 3rd June 1924.

What did Antonio Vivaldi's parents do for a living?
His father was a barber and then became a musician.
What is the reasons for popularity of franz schubert?
His lieder and art songs are considered Romantic but his symphonies are still mainly in the Classical style. Since he is not purely Classical, many musical scholars consider him to be Romantic and therefore excluded from the 1st Viennese School (comprised of Classical composers Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven)
How did Frederic Chopin influence future music?
I'm not sure who inspired Chopin for his overall compositions, but I did read in a piano book from Michael Aaron Piano Course that composer John Field (1782-1837) wrote Nocturnes that inspired Chopin for that particular style.
What famous piano composer wrote a lot of piano music?
There were five who stand out as almost strictly pianistic composers, and they were Scott Joplin, Fryderyk Chopin, Henry Cowell, R. Nethanial Dett, and Enrique Granados.
There were many other pianists who turned out as composers and scored their piano music as a primarily featured instrument (and then tagged in a few other 'whistle-blowers' to add unnecessary debauchery), such as the two Sergeis (S. Prokofiev and S. Rachmaninoff), Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Claude Debussy, Edward Macdowell, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Norman Dello-Joio, Christoph P.E. Bach (one of the Johann offspring), Robert Schumann, Antonio Scarlatti, and Bela Bartok to name a few.
There are, however, many composers who were skilled at writing for several different instrumental mediums, but also included impressively written masterworks for piano as either a subsidiary instrument (accompaniment) or as a soloist in their portfolios. Composers in this category include Paul Hindemith, Pytr I. Tchaikovsky, Olivier Messiaen, Franz Schubert, Maurice Ravel, Felix Mendelssohn, Samuel Barber, Antonin Dvorak, Franz Joseph Haydn, Gabriel Faure, George Fredric Handel, Dmitri Shostakovich, Darius Milhaud, Wolfgang Amadeus (Wolfie) Mozart, Anton Rubenstein, Igor Stravinsky, Johann Sebastian Bach, Aaron Copeland, Camille Saint-Saens, Alexander Scriabin, the three "A" 12-toners ("A"nton Webern, "A"rnold Schoernberg, and "A"lban Berg), Ludwig van Beethoven, Charles Ives, Manuel de Falla, Leonard Bernstein, Alexander Glazunov, and George Gershwin.
Aside from these piano promoters, there emerged a set of composers who appeared to despise the instrument and appeared to 'cringe' at the thought of wasting time writing for nothing more than an accompaniment figure. These include Giaccomo Puccini, any of the Strauss boys (Johann Jr. and Sr., and Richard), Gioachino Rossini, Heitor Villa-Lobos, Giuseppi Verdi, Benjamin Britten, Jean Sibelius, Gustav Mahler, Leon Minkus, George Bizet, Gustav Holst, Richard Rogers, Hector Berlioz, Leo Delibes, Anton Bruckner, and Richard Wagner.
All of these composers composed massive amounts of music that include piano in them as either character, subsidiary, solo, featured, or accompanying figures. Nearly all of them have dabbled in vocal and/or symphonic writing, and all have produced outstanding and pioneering works for the instrument under discussion.
I hope this helps.
