Considered one of the greatest composers-and music critics-of the
Romantic era, Robert Schumann (1810-1856) played an important role
in shaping nineteenth-century German ideas about virtuosity.
Forging his career in the decades that saw abundant public
fascination with the feats and creations of virtuosos (Liszt,
Paganini, and Chopin among others), Schumann engaged with
instrumental virtuosity through not only his compositions and
performances but also his music reviews and writings about his
contemporaries. Ultimately, the discourse of virtuosity influenced
the culture of Western "art music" well beyond the nineteenth
century and into the present day. By examining previously
unexplored archival sources, Alexander Stefaniak looks at the
diverse approaches to virtuosity Schumann developed over the course
of his career, revealing several distinct currents in
nineteenth-century German virtuosity and the enduring flexibility
of virtuosity discourse.
