Featured Article: Robert Schumann
Robert Schumann (June 8, 1810 – July 29, 1856), a German composer and pianist, was one of the most important Romantic composers of the first half of the nineteenth century, as well as a highly regarded music critic. An intellectual and an aesthete, his music reflects the deeply personal nature of Romanticism. Introspective and often whimsical, his early music was an attempt to break with the tradition of the classical music era and form and structure which he thought too restrictive. Little understood in his lifetime, much of his music is now regarded as daringly original in harmony, rhythm, and form. He stands in the front rank of German composers of the nineteenth century.
