Forced by a hand injury to abandon a career as a pianist, Robert Schumann went on to become one of the world's great composers. Among many works, his Spring Symphony (1841), Piano Concerto in A Minor (1841/1845), and the Third, or Rhenish, Symphony (1850) exemplify his infusion of classical forms with intense, personal emotion. His musical influence continues today and has inspired many other famous composers in the century since his death. Indeed Brahms, in a letter of January 1873, wrote: "The remembrance of Schumann is sacred to me. I will always take this noble pure artist as my model." Now, in Robert Schumann: Herald of a "New Poetic Age," John Daverio presents the first comprehensive study of the composer's life and works to appear in nearly a century. Long regarded as a quintessentially romantic figure, Schumann also has been portrayed as a profoundly tragic one: a composer who began his career as a genius and ended it as a mere talent. Daverio takes issue with this Schumann myth, arguing instead that the composer's entire creative life was guided by the desire to imbue music with the intellectual substance of literature. A close analysis of the interdependence among Schumann's activities as reader, diarist, critic, and musician reveals the depth of his literary sensibility. Drawing on documents only recently brought to light, the author also provides a fresh outlook on the relationship between Schumann's mental illness--which brought on an extended sanitarium stay and eventual death in 1856--and his musical creativity. Schumann's character as man and artist thus emerges in all its complexity. The book concludes with an analysis of the late works and a postlude on Schumann's influence on successors from Brahms to Berg. This well-researched study of Schumann interprets the composer's creative legacy in the context of his life and times, combining nineteenth-century cultural and intellectual history with a fascinating analysis of the works themselves.

Arguably no other 19th-century German composer was as literate or as finely attuned to setting verse as Robert Schumann. Finson challenges assumptions about Schumann’s Lieder, engaging traditionally held interpretations. Arranged in part thematically, rather than by strict compositional chronology, this book speaks to the heart of Schumann’s music.

"Ronald Taylor has written the first full-length account of the life, times and work of Robert Schumann for many years. Based on a fresh reading of the original German sources, this wide-ranging, authoritative biography reveals the mind of Schumann behind the traditional image of the sad, romantic comoser of lyrical songs and piano music. Born into a literary family in Zwickau, Saxony, Robert Schumann (1810-56) was a contemporary of Berlioz, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt and Wagner, and Ronald Taylor shows how throughout his life the twin strands of literature and music interacted. His artistic creativity was most perfectly expressed in miniature, in small-scale works for the piano and in songs, but in addition he composed much orchestral and other work on a grander scale: all this while his life was marred by dramatic crises and sadness. The crucial moments in Schumann's life are movingly recaptured: his four-year struggle, against her father's opposition, to marry the pianist Clara Wieck, his fight against his reticent, withdrawn nature and disturbing extremes of mood (possibly exacerbated by syphilis); his financial worries and the disappointing reception of his music; and finally his attempted suicide and decline into madness. By relating Schumann's work to his intellectual and spiritual life, to the historical currents of his age and to the specific context of 19th-century Romanticism, Ronald Taylor has written a coherent, thoughtful and ultimately tragic biography of one of the musical geniuses of the 19th century."--Dust jacket.
