Robert Schumann. Life and Death of a Musician, Paperback/John Worthen

A biography that offers a fresh account of Robert Schumann 's life. It confronts the traditional perception of the doom-laden Romantic, forced by depression into a life of helpless, poignant sadness. It frees Schumann from one hundred and fifty years of myth-making and unjustified psychological speculation. Publisher: Yale University Press Author(s): John Worthen Number of pages: 496 Publication date: 2010 Dimensions: 235 x 156 x 40 Cover type: Paperback / softback
