Robert Schumann is one of the most intriguing-and enigmatic-composers of the        nineteenth century. Extraordinarily gifted in both music and literature, many of his        compositions were inspired by poetry and novels. For much of his life he was better        known as a music critic than as a composer. But whether writing as critic or        composer, what he produced was created by him as a reflection of his often turbulent        life. Best known was the tempestuous courtship of his future wife, the pianist Clara        Wieck. Though marriage and family life seemed to provide a sense of constancy, he        increasingly experienced periods of depression and instability. Mounting criticism        of his performance as music director at Dusseldorf led to his attempted suicide in        1854. Schumann was voluntarily committed to an insane asylum near Bonn where,        despite indications of improvement and dissatisfaction with his treatment, he spent        the final two years of his life.Drawing on original research and newly published        letters and journals from the time, author Eric Frederick Jensen presents a balanced        portrait of the composer with both scholarly authority and engaging clarity.          Biographical chapters alternate with discussion of Schumann's piano, chamber,        choral, symphonic, and operatic works, demonstrating how the circumstances of his        life helped shape the music he wrote. Chronicling the romance of Robert and Clara,        Jensen offers a nuanced look at the evolution of their relationship, one that        changed dramatically after marriage. He also follows Schumann's creative musical        criticism, which championed the burgeoning careers of Chopin, Liszt, and Brahms and        challenged the musical tastes of Europe.
