This candid intimate & compellingly written new biography offers a completely fresh account of Robert Schumanns life. It confronts the traditional perception of the doom-laden Romantic forced by depression into a life of helpless poignant sadness. John Worthens scrupulous attention to the original sources reveals Schumann to have been an astute witty articulate & immensely determined individual who with little support from his background in provincial Saxony painstakingly taught himself his craft as a musician overcame problem after problem in his professional life & married the woman he loved after a tremendous battle with his father-in-law. Schumann was neither manic depressive nor schizophrenic though he struggled with financial problems & illness. He worked prodigiously hard to develop his range of musical styles & to earn his living only to be struck down at the age of forty-four by a vile & incurable disease. Worthens biography effectively demystifies a figure frequently regarded as a Romantic enigma. It frees Schumann from one hundred & fifty years of myth-making & unjustified psychological speculation. It reveals him for the first time as a brilliant passionate resolute musician & thoroughly creative human being & as the composer of arguably the best music of his generation. ...

Robert Schumann (1810-56) is one of the most important & representative composers of the Romantic era. Born in Zwickau Germany Schumann began piano instruction at age seven & immediately developed a passion for music. When a permanent injury to his hand prevented him from pursuing a career as a touring concert pianist he turned his energies & talents to composing writing hundreds of works for piano & voice as well as four symphonies & two ballets. Here acclaimed biographer Martin Geck tells the fascinating story of this multifaceted genius set in the context of the political & social revolutions of his time. The image of Schumann the man & the artist that emerges in Geck's book is complex. Geck shows Schumann to be not only a major composer & music critic-he cofounded & wrote articles for the controversial Neue Zeitschrift fur Musik-but also a political activist the father of eight children & an addict of mind-altering drugs. Through hard work & determination bordering on the obsessive Schumann was able to control his demons & channel the tensions that seethed within him into music that mixes the popular & esoteric resulting in compositions that require the creative engagement of reader & listener. The more we know about a composer the more we hear his personality in his music even if it is above all on the strength of his work that we love & admire him. Martin Geck's book on Schumann is not just another rehashing of Schumann's life & works but an intelligent personal interpretation of the composer as a musical literary & cultural personality. ...
