		Robert Alexander Schumann (June 8, 1810 – July 29, 1856) was a German composer and pianist in the Romantic period of Classical music.
		In the winter of 1832 Schumann visited his relations at Zwickau and Schneeburg, in both of which places was performed the first movement of his symphony in G minor, which remains unpublished.
		On the 3rd of October 1835 Schumann met Mendelssohn at Wieck's house in Leipzig, and his appreciation of his great contemporary was shown with the same generous freedom that distinguished him in all his relations to other musicians, and which later enabled him to recognize the genius of Brahms when he was still obscure.

		Schumann was discovered missing, but was nowhere to be found by Clara, her daughter Marie, and the maid, Bertha.
		Schumann adapted the term "arabesque", a composition for piano in which the melody is ornamented.
		Even though this composition is for the most part in D minor, with the usual key transitions, it definitely ends in the parallel major of D, which is a feature often used by composers, including Mozart.

		Schumann attacked the compositions of Wagner on the grounds that they were simply bad music: in Schumann's words, "paltry, downright amateurish, formless, and repellent." What Schumann did not address is that members of the European oligarchy had made the decision to promote Wagner, financially and otherwise, on political grounds.
		Schumann likewise encouraged the compositions of Mendelssohn, John Field, Chopin, and Brahms, bringing them to the attention of the public through his journal, just as his fiancee Clara did through her stature as a concert artist.
		As the young Schumann was a student of her father's, she grew up not only with the influence of the young composer, but in the midst of the great ferment which was the last revival of the classical tradition passed down by Mozart and Beethoven.

	Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mozart's first compositions, a small Andante (K. 1a) and Allegro (K. 1b), were written in 1761, when he was aged five.
		However, the visit sparked the composition of one of Mozart's great liturgical pieces, the Mass in C Minor, which, though not completed, was premiered in Salzburg, and is now one of his best-known works.
		His death record listed "hitziges Frieselfieber" ("severe miliary fever," referring to a rash that looks like millet-seeds), a description that does not suffice to identify the cause as it would be diagnosed in modern medicine.

		Schumann's settings of a poem are compared with those of other composers, tracing similarities and influences and listing all the changes he made to his texts.
		On the contrary, he asserts that Schumann was striving for a new, simpler, leaner style, and that his late works have a deeply moving inwardness and concentration that make their neglect both unjust and unfortunate.
		It also presents Schumann's illness in a different light, locating its onset much earlier in his life than is generally assumed and adding a new causative and aggravating component: alcoholism.

	Mennonite Life - March 2004 - Schlabaugh article
		Schumann showed early interest in both music and literature (and specifically poetry), and he was given piano lessons as a young child.
		Robert had already suffered a nervous breakdown in 1833, but this time the situation was far more serious, and Clara was forced to take over the care of the household, the children, and Robert.
		Schumann's piano compositions must be counted among the most remarkable, significant artistic phenomena of our day, that they are characterized through and through by a great nobility of effort and incorporate many seeds of a new era.

	Robert Schumann
		In 1834 Schumann founded a music journal, the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik; he was its editor and leading writer for ten years.
		Schumann, as a pianist composer, made the piano partake fully in the expression of emotion in such songs, often giving it the most telling music when the voice had finished.
		In 1841, however, Schumann turned to orchestral music: he wrote symphonies and a beautiful, poetic piece for piano and orchestra for Clara that he later reworked as the first movement of his Piano Concerto.

	The Schumann Paintings
		Inspired by E.T.A. Hoffman’s mad fictional musician Kappelmeister Kreisler, Schumann’s “Kreisleriana” was one of many musical works written at the urging of the inner voices that alternatively plagued and blessed him throughout much of his life.
		Though sensitive and artistic, Clara had a rather conservative and disciplined mind -- I believe that this protected her during these sessions, while Robert, his spiritual sentinels incapacitated by his psychological illness, was vulnerable to possession by any invisible entity the two of them may have invoked.
		Robert Schumann’s afflictions are depicted by his absence -- the image I most often use is of Clara alone, playing a variety of magical keyboard instruments, all of them capable of invoking or banishing these spirits.

		Besides these the list includes a string quartet in G minor, four sonatas and several smaller compositions for piano, and, by way of climax, 146 songs, some of which are of considerable length, and of which eight are dated Oct. 15, and seven Oct. 19.
		The compositions of the year include a symphony in C major (D.589), a certain amount of four-hand pianoforte music for his pupils at Zelesz and a few songs, among which are Einsamkeit (D.620), Marienbild (D.623) and the Litaney.
		In 1838 Robert Schumann, on a visit to Vienna, found the dusty manuscript of the C major symphony (the 'Great', D.944) and took it back to Leipzig, where it was performed by Felix Mendelssohn and celebrated in the Neue Zeitschrift.

		The Kreisleriana, which he regarded as one of his most successful works, was written in 1838, and in this the composer's realism is again carried a step farther.
		Kreisler, the romantic poet brought into contact with the real world, was a character drawn from life by the poet E. Hoffmann (q.v.), and Schumann utilized him as an imaginary mouthpiece for the recital in music of his own personal experiences.

		Robert Schumann's occasionally underappreciated Symphony no. 3 in Eb ("Rhenish"), can be our case study of Szell's balance between Beethoven's/Mozart's classical refinement and restraint in orchestration and a Brahms's/Bruckner's overt expression and use of orchestra players more equally.

		Secondly, false assumptions regarding Schumann's mental state at the time of the concerto's composition, and all-too-often repeated myths about his insanity in general, have led to general acceptance of the alleged necessity and inevitability of making such changes.
		All biographers agree that Schumann was both lucid and content (or at least appeared to be) when he sketched and orchestrated the concerto in two weeks (October 10-24, 1850), shortly after moving to Duesseldorf.
		It is true that in early February 1854, after Schumann had begun to experience the hallucinations which ultimately led to his suicide attempt and voluntary institutionalization, he took out the cello concerto to proofread, and made corrections to prepare the work for publication.

		Formerly listed as K.55-60, these sonatas are generally thought no longer to be by Mozart but by someone of the same period, possibly associated with the young master and certainly of significant talent.
		Boismortier's facility at composition produced a huge number of works in all genres but he showed a marked propensity toward wind instruments and these works make use of recorders, flute and oboes in his typically clear, pleasant and graceful style.
