		Wieck responded that Schumann's gifts were such that he could become one of the leading pianists of the day within two or three years if he applied himself-which Wieck doubted he had the discipline to do.
		Schumann was not in the end able to conform to some of Wieck's demands on his personal lifestyle-he continued to smoke and drink heavily, for example-and because of Wieck's constant touring with his child prodigy daughter, Clara, there was friction and dissatisfaction on the pedagogical side as well.

		His poet heroes included the sickly and pious Novalis and Friedrich Hölderlin, who was as obsessed with ancient Greek divinities as Keats.
		Felix Mendelssohn went by "Felix Meritis." Hungarian pianist Stephen Heller was "Jeanquirit." Schumann's pupil and future wife, Clara Wieck, wrote under the guises of "Chiara," "Chiarina" and "Zilia."

		Their loose society, of which Schumann was the moral leader, called itself the Davidsbund or "League of David" because its members saw themselves in the righteous role of the Biblical David fighting the banal Philistines of art and music.
