When he was 16 his father died and in the same month his sister committed suicide. He continued to develop as a pianist and wrote novels. He began piano lessons at seven, and studied Latin and Greek in school in Zwickau, developing a keen interest in literature and in writing as he entered his teens.
Schumann's bookseller father was also a novelist and translator of Walter Scott and Byron highly nervous, he married a violently passionate woman, and Schumann was brought up in an environment both literary and unstable. He did his best work when younger, in small forms: piano pieces and songs. His life ended early and miserably with a descent into insanity brought on by syphilis. Severely affected by what was most likely bipolar disorder, he achieved almost superhuman productivity during his manic periods. A quirky, problematic genius, he wrote some of the greatest music of the Romantic era, and also some of the weakest. There also exists some unused sketches for Op.68 as well.Robert Schumann was a German composer and critic born in Zwickau on June 8, 1810. Lied italienischer Marinari (G minor)ģ8a.
