Here is an essential guide to the musical works of Robert Schumann,
along with an engrossing account of his tumultuous life. Many, if
not most, major composers improve over the course of their careers,
but the reverse is unfortunately the case with Schumann, whose
talent was seriously compromised in later years by a series of
physical and mental illnesses. Throughout Schumann: A Listener s
Guide, Victor Lederer provides unflinching critiques of the
weaknesses that plagued Schumann s style, alongside his triumphs.
Lederer explores the full spectrum of the master composer s oeuvre
from his popular early music and lieder, or songs, to his works for
chamber ensembles composed in 1842, to his four beloved, if flawed,
symphonies. Lederer also takes in Schumann s dramatic works,
particularly Genoveva, his only opera, and Incidental Music to
Byron s Manfred, an underappreciated musical score. Schumann: A
Listener s Guide comes with a CD with two of the master s most
daring imaginative flights, the Davidsbundlertanze for piano and
Dichterliebe A Poet s Love one of the greatest song cycles and
works for voice. Both are discussed in detail in the text.
