By DEWBY HARRIS ROUSSEL.
JT IS ROBERT SCHUMANN who has
taught the world the two lessons
that there Is poetry In music and
that there Is music In the pianoforte.
Being on of the first lyric .tone
poets of all time Schomann busied
himself In creative activities along the
line where poetry and music join and
although an Imaginative and fanciful
person he had a true lnatlct for valid
and logical expression In music. His
works justly retain their charm today
because In composing he had the key
to the riddle the relation of music
to emotion.
During the short apan of his life
(1810-1806) Schumann succeeded in
developing Into a remarkable three-
fold personality a composer a writer
and a man.
As a composer he was a being to
whom music was the perfect express
slon of the soul; in his wrjting. even
the most ordinary critical he was a
poet and as a man he was the most
ardent and faithful lover ' the most
disinterestedly helpful friend.
Native of Saxony.
Schumann was born In Zwickau.
Saxony and was the youngest son of
the family. His father was a book-
seller a man of literary ability and
sympathy but his mother was inclin-
ed toward Uie practical and mercen-
ary. When at the earliest age Schu-
mann showed a 'passion for music his
father recognized his talent but his
mother expressed a preference that
he avoid the rocky road of art for
some bread-winning profession.
At the age of six Schumann was a
pianist. Within another year he was
a composer and skilled at improvisa-
tion and by the time he was 10 he
had distinguished himself as a con-
cert performer even though he had
to stand up at the piano to reach the
keys.
From his earliest childhood he had
been allowed to study music but his
parents were careful not to allow this
to interfere with his literary studies
In 1 n2S he entered the University of
Ieipzig to study law philosophy and
literature. Judging by some of Schu-
mann's own letters It Is evident that
he let studies deprive him of precious
iittle time. In one of his letters he
said: "I have not been to a single
lecture Idealists are like bees; if you
disturb them off their flowers they
sting."
Loved Music More.
Schumann was vastly more interest-
ed in hearing good music and chatting
with the best pianoforte teacher in
7 rmany Wic k. In a short time he
had decided to study under Wieck.
This proved a momentous decision in
the life of Schumann for It was while
studying with Wieck mat he became
charmed with the old German's
daughten Clara who though only nine
years of age at the time was destined
to be an accomplished pianist the
great Interpreter of Schumann's works
and incidentally to become his wife.
For a time he worked hard at his
music studying harmony and coun-
terpoint and especially mastering Bach
and Heethoven. Hut soon the poet
dreamer lad became dissatisfied with
Leipzig and decided to go to Heidel-
berg. Oncp in Heidelberg back at his
law studies he found It harder than
ever to give attention to literary pur-
suits and In a year returned to Leip-
zig determined to stufly for a career
as c concert pianist with all earnest-
ness. Hut now misfortune came his way.
Convinced that his progress in piano
work was far too slow Schumann in-
vented a mechanical contrivance for
holding up his fourth finger while
the others played exercises. Unfor-
tunately the third finger on his right
hand was strained during the first few-
trials. He neglected to give It the
proper attention and It became use-
ROBERT 8CHUMANN I
less. His career as a virtuoso was
gone forever!
Turns to Creating.
Thus was Schumann turned to ever-
lasting creating work.
in 1840 the same year he received
his doctor's degree from the Univer-
sity of Jena he married Clara Wieck.
Now he became the perfect singer of
songs. Married life made him the love
singer for his wife proved a wonder-
ful inspiration. She was a friend
tender wife and the most genial in-
terpreter of his works all In one per-
son. From song writing he turned to
orchestral composition. In 1S41 he
Joined the faculty of the LJepxig con-
servatory and remained there for three
years as a teacher of piano playing
composition and the art of playing
from score. On leaving here he
plunged Into a season of composing
working Incessantly and at the same
time touring about with his wife in
concert.
From the time he was In his early
teens spells of melancholy would seize
Schumann and carry him Into the
depths. With hard work these
gradually became worse and his mind
began to be clouded. He imagined a
tone pursued him Incessantly. He
became sleepless and overcome with
melancholia and at last tried to drown
himself by jumping In the Rhine river
tyut he was rescued from the tide and
placed In an asylum where he died
two years later at the age of forty-six.
Paid the Price.
Schumann was a romanticist and he
paid the price. As Engel wrote of
romant:sm "it Is fancy freed from the
hounds of convention and reason. Is
the lure of exploring the unexplorable
reMms that border on the confines of
madness where Hoffman the. spinner
of fantastic tales and Robert Schu-
mann the musician of the "Fantasie-
stucke" penetrated fartherest and
were lost "
Possibly the most widely known
composition of Schumann's is Trau-
meral" (Dreaming ) It Is onu -f a
group of smaller pieces called "Child-
hood Semes" and is the most beauti-
ful of the set. Only one melody Is
heard throughout the piece. Schumann
got his onntrasts by modulation or
key changes. In "Childhood Scenes"
he was the "exquisite miniaturist;"
In his "Carnival" "Kreislerlna" and
"Novellettes" he was "etcher of opu-
lent light and shade" while In his re-
markable piano concertos we find the
"wlelder of large brushes."
