		On the October 3, 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 died at age 46 on July 29, 1856, almost certainly from the effects of syphilis and the toxic mercury treatments administered by his doctors.

		Schumann uses all sorts of found instruments and found objects from life in producing the sounds which are common to all of us.
		At different periods in his career, Schumann has made more or less use of the individual human performer, but in most cases this performer is "neutralized" by the use of a mask.
		Schumann's theatre is really more about characters than it is about telling a complicated story anyway, and the reuse of these identifiable (but flexible) characters adds dimensions to their character.

		It was a musical rhapsody, yet like all good rhapsodies it had its moments of dissonance, for the combined melodies of their life together did not always run in thirds and sixths, and the shadow of Robert's illness frequently cast it in the somber minor mode in which it was destined to end.

	The March of the Davidsbündler against the Philistines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		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.
