Robert Schumann : composer, critic, & correspondent
-
This online exhibit focuses particularly on Robert Schumann the composer, featuring the manuscript of the song “Resignation” (Op. 83, no. 1), sketches for the Études symphoniques, and the handwritten title page of Paradies und die Peri, as well as several early printed editions. Schumann the critic is represented by his famous articles about Chopin and Brahms. The library holds numerous letters by each of the Schumanns, and from these we have selected three by Robert and two by Clara. Clara Schumann the composer is represented by a recently acquired manuscript of four piano studies, along with a published song. We are also proud to display the manuscript of an early version Brahms’s “Capriccio,” Op. 76, no. 1, which he gave to Clara in 1871, as well as a sketch for Charles Ives’s setting of “Ich grolle nicht,” a poem made famous by Robert Schumann’s setting in Dichterliebe.
