	The Symphony - Robert Schumann
		Robert Schumann was born in Zwickau, Saxony, in 1810, son of a bookseller, publisher, and writer.
		Schumann made his first attempts at symphonic writing in 1829, with two movements of a symphony in G minor, which was to remain unfinished.
		Schumann is perhaps the personification of Romantic ideals.

	Concerto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He wrote one concerto each for flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, four for horn, one for flute and harp, and a sinfonia concertante for violin and viola.
		Brahms's first piano concerto in D minor (pub 1861) was the result of an immense amount of work on a mass of material originally intended for a symphony.
		Masterpieces were written by Edward Elgar (for violin and for cello), Sergei Rachmaninoff (four piano concertos), Jean Sibelius (for violin), Frederick Delius (for violin, for cello, for piano; and a Double Concerto for violin and cello), Karol Szymanowski (two for violin), and Richard Strauss (2 horn concertos).

	Robert Schumann
		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.
		In 1836 Schumann's acquaintance with Clara Wieck, already famous as a pianist, ripened into love, and a year later he asked her father's consent to their marriage, but was met with a refusal.
		Schumann's biographers represent him as caught in a tempest of song, the sweetness, the doubt and the despair of which are all to be attributed to varying emotions aroused by his love for Clara.

	Violin Concerto (Schumann) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Robert Schumann’s only Violin Concerto, in D minor, was one of his last significant compositions, and one that remained unknown to all but a very small circle for more than 80 years after it was written.
		After Schumann’s attempted suicide in February 1854 and subsequent decline and death in a sanatorium in Endenich, Joachim evidently suspected the Concerto was a product of Schumann’s madness and thought of the music as morbid.
		Schumann had thought the theme had been dictated to him by the spirits of Mendelssohn and Schubert, no longer recognizing that it was a melody he had used in the slow movement of the Violin Concerto.

		The Cello Concerto of 1850 was first performed four years after Schumann's death, while the 1853 Violin Concerto had to wait over eighty years before its first performance in 1937.
		Schumann wrote three string quartets in 1842, a fertile period that saw also the composition of the Piano Quintet and a Piano Quartet.
		Other important chamber music by Schumann includes three piano trios, three violin sonatas and a number of shorter character-pieces that include the Mrchenbilder for viola and piano, collections of Phantasiestcke with alternative instrumentation and the cello and piano Fnf Stcke im Volkston, with other short pieces generally suggesting a literary or otherwise extra-musical programme.

	The violin concerto: musical analysis - Ludwig van Beethoven - Dominique PRÉVOT
		The Concerto for Violin (Opus 61) was composed in a number of weeks between November and December 1806, an unusually short time for Beethoven.
		The chance to bring to life a concerto for violin and orchestra (the only complete concerto of its kind by Beethoven) fell to the violinist and conductor Franz Clement, artistic director of the Theater An der Wien (the theatre which, under the direction of Schikaneder, hosted the premiere of Mozart's Magic Flute in 1791).
		The concerto was not completed until a couple of days before the performance itself which took place on 23rd December, and the violinist was forced to play from a score which he had barely had time to read through.

		At the same time, Schumann fell in love with the pretty and innocent Clara, daughter of his teacher, who was a virtuoso pianist and a composer in her own right.
		Schumann's Piano Quintet is a very well written work that employs the cyclic form (the work as an entirety) where the opening theme recurs towards the end.
		Schumann's Violin Concerto, one of his last works disappeared from the concert platform until many years later, when a famous Hungarian violinist claimed that Schumann visited her in her dreams, asking her to unearth the work for performance.

		Some observers have described Robert Schumann as the incarnation of Romanticism, because of his self-absorption and the extramusical ideas that he often used as a point of departure for his music, but there is also a deep current of irony and even self-mockery in his works.
		Schumann, who grew up in the Saxon town of Zwickau, where he was born on 8 June 1810, was sent to university to study law, at his widowed mother's insistence, but he quit when the need to express himself through music became irrepressible.
		Schumann founded and directed the Neue Zeitschrift fx.r Musik (New Journal of Music), and through it he helped to bring the young Chopin and, later, the young Brahms to the attention of the German-speaking public.

		Clara became a regular performer and life-long champion of Schumann's works, and much of his fame is due to her efforts.
		The Schumanns moved to Dresden and Robert gradually emerged from his morbid state in 1845 for another highly creative phase of six years.
		In 1850 Schumann was appointed conductor of the choir and orchestra in Dusseldorf, which should have provided performance opportunities and inspiration for new works.

		Schumann’s Novelletten, although written in the same year as his hugely popular Kinderszenen and Kreisleriana, does not possess an equal amount of inspiration.
		Schumann wrote his "Geister Variations" just a few weeks before attempting to commit suicide by throwing himself into the Rhine and then being placed in a sanitarium in Endenich.
		First, the theme is one that Schumann had previously used in his String Quartet in F major, Violin Concerto, and the song "Frühlings Ankunft".

		Some of Schumann's last works were inspired by his admiration for Joachim, and speculation is that this arrangement for violin was conceived with Joachim in mind.
		Although Schumann did not live to see the publication of his arrangement for violin, manuscripts clearly show he was actively involved in making such a version and that it is not just the work of a copyist or some ardent violinist.

		Mozart's solo clarinet works were tailored to the talents of his lodge brother, Anton Stadler, and Mendelssohn intended his e-minor Violin Concerto for Ferdinand David, a life-long friend who was also concertmaster of Mendelssohn's Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra.
		His Violin Concerto, Double Concerto for violin and cello, and three violin sonatas were all created for the very same man, Joseph Joachim, Brahms' recital partner, musical advisor, and friend for all of their adult lives.
		In fact, one observer, the conductor and pianist Hans von Bülow, even claimed it was a concerto "against the violin," and Brahms and Joachim continued revisions on the work until its publication six months later.

		The Schumann and the Wieniawski concertos are the sleepers in this collation, with Ashkenazy's taking the uncut version of the orchestral score in the latter, so the scale of the piece gains, where the Heifetz version eviscerated all but the virtuoso's part.
		The Schumann Concerto - championed by Kulenkampff, Menuhin, and Szeryng - is a baroque exercise in singularity of affect, since all of the musical material derives from one cloth in spite of an attempt to make a third-movement polonaise out of its gloomy character.
