W/ the RIGOROUS RESEARCH of a scholar & the ELOQUENT prose of a novelist, Judith Chernaik takes us into Schumann?s 19th-century Romantic milieu, where he wore many "masks" that gave voice to each corner of his soul. The son of a book publisher, he infused his pieces w/ literary ideas. He was passionately original but worshiped the past: Bach & Beethoven, Shakespeare & Byron. He believed in artistic freedom but struggled with constraints of form. His courtship & marriage to the brilliant pianist Clara Wieck (against her father's wishes) is one of the great musical love stories of all time. Chernaik freshly explores his troubled relations w/ fellow composers Mendelssohn & Chopin, & the full medical diary (long withheld) from the Endenich asylum where he spent his final years enables her to look anew at the mystery of his early death. By turns tragic & transcendent, Schumann shows how this extraordinary artist turned his tumultuous life into music that speaks directly (& timelessly) to the heart. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: JUDITH CHERNAIK was born & grew up in Brooklyn. She graduated from Cornell University & received a Ph.D. from Yale University. She has taught at Columbia, Tufts, & Queen Mary College in London. Her books include "The Lyrics of Shelley" & 4 novels. She has also written a play, & most recently has published essays on Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, Mendelssohn, & Chopin in the British academic journal The Musical Times. She & her husband, Warren Chernaik, have been living in London for the last 40 years, where she founded Poems on the Underground, which under various names, has since spread all over the world. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.
