{"product_id":"schumann-and-his-world-9780691607023","title":"Schumann and His World","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe know Robert Schumann in many ways: as a visionary composer, a seasoned journalist, a cultured man of letters, and a genius who, having passed his mantle on to the young Brahms, succumbed to mental illness in 1856. Drawing on recent pathbreaking research, this collection offers new perspectives on this seminal nineteenth-century figure. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Part I, Leon Botstein and Michael P. Steinberg assess Schumann's efforts to place music at the center of German culture, in public and private sectors. Bernhard R. Appel offers a probing source study of one of Schumann's most personal works, the \u003ci\u003eAlbum für die Jugend, \u003c\/i\u003e Op. 68, while John Daverio considers the generic identity of \u003ci\u003eDas Paradies und die Peri, \u003c\/i\u003e and Jon W. Finson reexamines the first version of the Eichendorff \u003ci\u003eLiederkreis\u003c\/i\u003e. Gerd Nauhaus investigates Schumann's approach to the symphonic finale, and R. Larry Todd considers the intractable issue of quotations and allusions in Schumann's music. Part II presents letters and memoirs, including unpublished correspondence between Clara Schumann and Felix and Paul Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. In Part III, conflicting critical views of Schumann are juxtaposed. Some of these sources are translated into English for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published in 1994. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
