The ballads of Franz Schubert (1797-1828) and Carl Loewe (1796-1869) were both inherited from Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg (1760-1802). However, compared to Loewe's sustained ballad compositions and his leading position in this field, Schubert was nearly unknown. Were it not for the popularity and controversy of Erlk?nig (D 328), we might have difficulty in associating Schubert with ballads.

舒伯特(Franz Schubert， 1797-1828)与洛威(Carl Loewe， 1796-1869)之叙事曲虽皆传承於村史提克(Johann Rudolf Zumsteeg， 1760-1802)，但是相对於洛威的持续创作且於此领域中拥有重要地位，舒伯特在叙事曲的创作中却几近默默无名，若非《魔王》受到欢迎以及引发评论者对其的争议，时至今日，我们或许仍难以将舒伯特与叙事曲的创作联想在一起。

It could have been't ,were it not for two factors,First leading groups are unwilling to accept of people have private arms ,for some reasons the private arms have never been enterminated ,these always formed quickly in some periods ,andpassionately merged into real military groups till bit by bit is stronger enough to unhorse an empire.
