A study on the influence which the German novelist Jean Paul
Friedrich Richter had upon Robert Schumann's music. Robert Schumann
frequently expressed his deep admiration for the novels of Jean
Paul Friedrich Richter, the late-eighteenth-century German
novelist, essayist, and satirist. Schumann imitated Jean Paul's
prose style in his own fiction and music criticism, and said once
that he learned "more counterpoint from Jean Paul than from my
music teacher." Drawing on the recent, groundbreaking work in
musico-literary analysis of scholars such as Anthony Newcomb,John
Daverio, and Lawrence Kramer, Erika Reiman embarks on a comparative
study of Jean Paul's five major novels and Schumann's piano cycles
of the 1830s, many of which are staples in the repertoire of
concert pianists today. The present study begins with a thorough
review of Jean Paul's literary style, emphasizing the digressions,
intertextuality, self-reflexivity, and otherworldliness that
distinguish it. The similarly digressive style that
Schumanndeveloped is then examined in his earliest works, including
the enduring and highly original Carnaval [1835], and in cycles of
the later 1830s, notably Davidsbundlertanze and Faschingsschwank
aus Wien. Finally, an analysis of three one-movement works from
1838-39 reveals links with Jean Paul's exploration of the idyll, an
ancient genre that had experienced an eighteenth-century revival.
Throughout, the author attempts to keep inmind the actual sound and
performed experience of the works, and suggests ways in which an
awareness of Jean Paul's style might change the performance and
hearing of the cycles. Erika Reiman, received her Ph.D. in
Musicology from the University of Toronto [1999] and has taught at
Brock University, Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of
Guelph, and the University of Toronto; she is also active as a
pianist and chamber musician.
