Following on from volumes on Franz Liszt and Frédéric Chopin, the author now presents another chronicle on the life and work of a third 19th-century composer. Once again the publication of this extraordinary documentation has been proceeded by years of intensive study of contemporary society, art and literature. Schumann’s personal circumstances, his character, friendships and professional relationships are set in the panoramic perspective of events and developments of an entire epoch. Chronological data on life and work are partnered with reflections on Schumann as pianist, conductor and critic, and on his relationship with Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner and Brahms. Many of the portraits and documents are here published for the first time.
