Later, he worked as a section leader at Ministry of Finance and as general secretary of Stock Exchange in Vienna.

Composer

Schön composed his first songs and piano pieces while studying in Olomouc.

During the revolution in 1848 he composed the student song "German Song of Freedom" (Deutsch Freiheitslied).

Later, Engelsberg primarily composed church music together with several instrumental works. He also set several law texts to music.
