Robert Schumann (1810-1856) is considered the most important composer of German Romanticism. The son of a bookseller decided only at the age of 20 years for the music career, but a finger paralysis ended early his pianist career. He became famous as a music theorist and composer. Schumann succeeded in combining the different arts of the romantic aesthetic: in his work (almost 150 compositions in virtually all genres), music and poetry are intimately interwoven. In 1840 Schumann married the pianist Clara Wieck after five years of advertising and a court-approved permit. They lived in Leipzig, Dresden and Dusseldorf. After a suicide attempt in February 1854, he spent the last years of his life in a psychiatric hospital in Bonn-Endenich.
