CLASSICAL SHEET MUSIC - Traumeri Opus 15 No. 7 - R. SCHUMANN - Solo Piano

Two years after their marriage, Friedrich Wieck at last reconciled himself with the couple, eager to see his grandchildren. Prior to the legal case and subsequent marriage, the lovers exchanged love letters and rendezvoused in secret. Robert often waited for hours in a cafe in a nearby city just to see Clara for a few minutes after one of her concerts. The strain of this long courtship and its consummation may have led to this great outpouring of Lieder vocal songs with piano accompaniment.

This is evident in Widmung , for example, where he uses the melody from Schubert's Ave Maria in the postlude in homage to Clara. Schumann's biographers attribute the sweetness, doubt, and despair of these songs to the emotions aroused by his love for Clara and the uncertainties of their future together. Robert and Clara had eight children, Emil — , who died at 1 year; Marie — ; Elise — ; Julie — ; Ludwig — ; Ferdinand — ; Eugenie — ; and Felix — His chief song-cycles in this period were settings of the Liederkreis of Joseph von Eichendorff , Op.

The songs Belsatzar , Op. In he wrote two of his four symphonies, No. He devoted to composing chamber music, including the Piano Quintet in E-flat , Op.

In he wrote Paradise and the Peri , his first essay at concerted vocal music, an oratorio style work based on Lalla-Rookh by Thomas Moore. After this, his compositions were not confined to any one form during any particular period. The stage in his life when he was deeply engaged in setting Goethe's Faust to music —53 was a critical one for his health. He spent the first half of with Clara on tour in Russia. On returning to Germany, he abandoned his editorial work and left Leipzig for Dresden , where he suffered from persistent " nervous prostration ".

As soon as he began to work, he was seized with fits of shivering and an apprehension of death, experiencing an abhorrence of high places, all metal instruments even keys , and drugs. Schumann's diaries also state that he suffered perpetually from imagining that he had the note A5 sounding in his ears. His state of unease and neurasthenia is reflected in his Symphony in C , numbered second, but third in order of composition, in which the composer explores states of exhaustion, obsession and depression, culminating in Beethovenian spiritual triumph. Also published in was his Piano Concerto in A minor, Op.

It is one of the most popular and oft-recorded of all piano concertos; according to Hutcheson "Schumann achieved a masterly work and we inherited the finest piano concerto since Mozart and Beethoven". In , he felt he had recovered. In the winter, the Schumanns revisited Vienna, traveling to Prague and Berlin in the spring of and in the summer to Zwickau, where he was received with enthusiasm. This pleased him, since until that time he was famous in only Dresden and Leipzig.

His only opera, Genoveva , Op. The text is often considered to lack dramatic qualities; the work has not remained in the repertoire. As early as the possibilities of German opera had been keenly realized by Schumann, who wrote, "Do you know my prayer as an artist, night and morning? It is called 'German Opera. And in his notebook of suggestions for the text of operas are found amongst others: Nibelungen , Lohengrin and Till Eulenspiegel.

The music to Byron 's Manfred was written in , the overture of which is one of Schumann's most frequently performed orchestral works. The insurrection of Dresden caused Schumann to move to Kreischa , a little village a few miles outside the city. In August , on the occasion of the centenary of Goethe's birth, such scenes of Schumann's Scenes from Goethe's Faust as were already completed were performed in Dresden, Leipzig and Weimar. Liszt gave him assistance and encouragement. The rest of the work was written later in , and the overture which Schumann described as "one of the sturdiest of [his] creations" in From to , Schumann composed in a wide variety of genres.

Critics have disputed the quality of his work at this time; a widely held view has been that his music showed signs of mental breakdown and creative decay. More recently, critics have suggested that the changes in style may be explained by "lucid experimentation". According to Harold C. Schonberg , in his The Great Conductors: There is something heartrending about poor Schumann's epochal inefficiency as a conductor. By the end of that year he completed his Symphony No. In he revised what would be published as his fourth symphony. From to he visited Switzerland, Belgium and Leipzig. On 30 September , the year-old composer Johannes Brahms arrived unannounced at the door of the Schumanns carrying a letter of introduction from violinist Joseph Joachim.

Schumann was not at home, and would not meet Brahms until the next day.

Brahms amazed Clara and Robert with his music, stayed with them for several weeks, and became a close family friend. He later worked closely with Clara to popularize Schumann's compositions during her long widowhood. During this time Schumann, Brahms and Schumann's pupil Albert Dietrich collaborated on the composition of the F-A-E Sonata for Joachim; Schumann also published an article, "Neue Bahnen" "New Paths" in the Neue Zeitschrift his first article in many years , hailing the unknown young Brahms from Hamburg, a man who had published nothing, as "the Chosen One" who "was destined to give ideal expression to the times.

Two years later at Schumann's request, the work received its first English performance conducted by William Sterndale Bennett. He suffered a renewal of the symptoms that had threatened him earlier. Besides the single note sounding in his ear possibly evidence of tinnitus [ citation needed ] , he imagined that voices sounded in his ear and he heard angelic music. The theme was one he had used several times before: In the days leading up to his suicide attempt, Schumann wrote five variations on this theme for the piano, his last completed work, today known as the Geistervariationen Ghost Variations.

In late February , Schumann's symptoms increased, the angelic visions sometimes being replaced by demonic ones. He warned Clara that he feared he might do her harm. On 27 February, he attempted suicide by throwing himself from a bridge into the Rhine River his elder sister Emilie had committed suicide in , possibly by drowning herself. Rescued by boatmen and taken home, he asked to be taken to an asylum for the insane. Franz Richarz's sanatorium in Endenich , a quarter of Bonn , and remained there until he died on 29 July at the age of During his confinement, he was not allowed to see Clara, although Brahms was free to visit him.

Clara finally visited him two days before his death. He appeared to recognize her, but was able to speak only a few words. Given his reported symptoms, one modern view is that he died from syphilis , which he could have contracted during his student days, and which could have remained latent during most of his marriage. Another possibility is that his neurological problems were the result of an intracranial mass.

A report by Janisch and Nauhaus on Schumann's autopsy indicates that he had a "gelatinous" tumor at the base of the brain; it may have represented a colloid cyst , a craniopharyngioma , a chordoma , or a chordoid meningioma. Schumann heard a persistent A-note at the end of his life. It was a form of tinnitus, or perhaps an auditory hallucination related to his major depressive episode. At times, he had musical hallucinations that were longer than just the single A, but his diaries include comments about hearing that annoying single note.

After Robert's death, Clara continued her successful career as a concert pianist, which supported the family. From mid-career on, she mainly performed music by leading composers. A hired cook and housekeeper tended to the children while she traveled. In , she first visited England. The critics received Robert's music coolly, with Henry Fothergill Chorley being particularly harsh. She returned to London in and made regular appearances there in later years, often performing chamber music with the violinist Joseph Joachim and others. It was rumoured that she and Brahms destroyed many of Schumann's later works, which they thought were tainted by his madness, but only the Five Pieces for Cello and Piano are known to have been destroyed.

Schumann had considerable influence in the nineteenth century and beyond, despite his adoption of more conservative modes of composition after his marriage. He left an array of acclaimed music in virtually all the forms then known.

Composer Sir Edward Elgar called Schumann "my ideal. Schumann has often been confused with Austrian composer Franz Schubert ; one well-known example occurred in , when East Germany issued a pair of postage stamps featuring Schumann's picture against an open score that featured Schubert's music. The stamps were soon replaced by a pair featuring music written by Schumann. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Schumann disambiguation. This article is about the composer.
