| | Robert Schumann (1810-1856) |
 | | Schumann, as a pianist-composer, made the piano partake fully in the expression of emotion in his song cycles, often giving the piano the most telling music when the voice had finished. | | | Schumann composed symphonies and a beautiful, poetic piece for piano and orchestra for Clara that he later reworked as the first movement of his Piano Concerto in A minor. | | | In 1839, Schumann had previously declared in a letter to the composer Hirschbach that instrumental music was indisputably superior to vocal music. |

| | Robert Schumann - a biography of the classical composer and overview of his works |
| | Schumann's Piano Quintet is highly recommended for the breadth and complexity of its emotions. | | | Starting much later than some other composers, he was in his thirties before he started to compose larger concert works, but he completed four symphonies, a well-known piano concerto, some chamber works, songs and song cycles and a wealth of shorter works for piano. | | | After the accident, Schumann was to concentrate more on composing. |

| | Schumann R more |
| | Schumann practiced piano seven hours a day; he gave improvisation concerts in the evening and started in for earnest composition. | | | 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 quintet had it s debut with Clara Schumann at the piano and David as first violin. |

| | Schumann was one of the first composers to take childhood as a theme, recreating in music the sense of wonder of a child. | | | Schumann's courtship and marriage to Clara Wieck is one of the most famous romances in music. | | | But when it became clear that he had no aptitude for law and was happy only when making music, she agreed to let him train as a concert pianist. |

I first heard this recording when I was about 16 (luckily, since this isn't your average bedtime classical sampler, and it needs the right interpreter) and have loved it ever since. |
