Schumann's Late Style is the first study in English devoted to
Robert Schumann's little-known music from the 1850s. The reason
most often given for these works having been considered lesser
achievements than the earlier song and piano cycles is that
Schumann's mental illness had a detrimental effect on his
compositions. However, this study demonstrates that there were
several other, still more complex, reasons why the music from the
1850s sounded different. Schumann had started to compose 'in a new
manner', depending more on preliminary sketches; he also began to
write for larger forces (orchestra and chorus), which required a
more 'public' style of music, as is also apparent in his works on
nationalist themes, and in his more commercial pieces for children.
This book thus attempts to disentangle assumptions about Schumann's
late style from biographical interpretations, and to consider it in
broader artistic, social and cultural contexts.
