Programme 87 “about Music. The art of listening.” Schumann’s Piano Music

Background
share close

Robert Schumann’s role as a critic and editor of the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Journal for Music) profoundly impacted the Romantic period’s music. Schumann became what we would call today “an influencer.” As both an advocate and commentator, Schumann used his platform to shape musical tastes and promote emerging composers’ works.

Schumann’s writings helped define the Romantic movement in music by emphasizing the importance of emotion, imagination, and poetic expression in composition and focussing on individuality and the personal voice of the composer.

Our main work for today, Carnaval Opus 9, is an excellent example of this.
