A complete symbiosis between life and art, and dramatic contrast between the real and the ideal emerges in his music with unusual expressive potency.
The 1838 version of Kreisleriana shows the full revolutionary scope of Schumannian writing.
The Geister-Variationen arouses a particolar emotion; it has always deeply impressed me to reflect upon a work whose composition straddles the composer’s suicide attempt, and the last variation is one of the most moving works it has ever been granted me to perform.
The Bunte Blätter, these scattered pages are like a forest through which everyone must find his own way.’
