Overview

Schumann is a remarkable piece of work. The author obviously loves the composer's music and writes about him - and Clara too - with compassion and understanding. . . Soberly and objectively, it unearths information that no previous Schumann research-- in English, at least - has come near duplicating. -- New York Times Book Review

Reviews

One is struck by the near-clinical approach taken in this biography. At times it reads like a medical report, as the most personal and painful details of this great artist are laced under the start light of scientific scrutiny. It is an interesting approach to studying Robert Schumann, the passionate and hyper-emotional genius who typified the romantic era of classical music. --Quarterly Notes
