Robert Schumann Stockists

Robert Schumann (1810-56) is one of the most important and representative composers of the Romantic era. Born in Zwickau Germany Schumann began piano instruction at age seven and immediately developed a passion for music. When a permanent injury to his hand prevented him from pursuing a career as a touring concert pianist he turned his energies and talents to composing writing hundreds of works for piano and voice as well as four symphonies and two ballets. Here acclaimed biographer Martin Geck tells the fascinating story of this multifaceted genius set in the context of the political and social revolutions of his time. The image of Schumann the man and the artist that emerges in Geck's book is complex. Geck shows Schumann to be not only a major composer and music critic-he cofounded and wrote articles for the controversial Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik-but also a political activist the father of eight children and an addict of mind-altering drugs. Through hard work and determination bordering on the obsessive Schumann was able to control his demons and channel the tensions that seethed within him into music that mixes the popular and esoteric resulting in compositions that require the creative engagement of reader and listener. The more we know about a composer the more we hear his personality in his music even if it is above all on the strength of his work that we love and admire him. Martin Geck's book on Schumann is not just another rehashing of Schumann's life and works but an intelligent personal interpretation of the composer as a musical literary and cultural personality.
