Robert Schumann (1810-1856) was an astonishingly creative composer, virtuoso pianist, and well-known music critic of his time. Throughout his tormented life, he tried to come to terms with his poor mental health. Although he was not even 50 years old when he died, Schumann left us a considerable heritage of piano works, art songs, and orchestral compositions, such as his exquisite “Spring Symphony”.
