	Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
		Robert Schumann was born in Zwickau, Germany on June 8, 1810 as the son of a bookseller, Friedrich August Schumann.
		Schumann's father made attempts to retain Carl Maria von Weber as a composition teacher for his talented son, but these efforts were fruitless, owing to the death of both August Schumann and Weber in 1826.
		Schumann encapsulates this style in the graceful and curvaceous roulades that he employs amid the rippling momentum of continuous 16th notes, and typical of the composer's style, the piece abounds in fragmentary repetitions.

	Robert Schumann - NPRN Composer of the Month
		Robert Schumann was born in 1810 in the small German city of Zwickau in Saxony.
		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.
		Schumann's more adventurous works involve new sorts of forms to supplement those with which he felt most comfortable, such as ternary form; the way that the "Fourth" Symphony (at one stage called a Symphonic Fantasy) and the First as well involve breakthrough moments that go beyond traditional sonata form are impressive.
