| Added by magataganm, 21 Oct 2023 Robert Schumann (1810 – 1856) was a German composer, pianist, and influential music critic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Romantic era. Schumann left the study of law, intending to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist. His teacher, Friedrich Wieck, a German pianist, had assured him that he could become the finest pianist in Europe, but a hand injury ended this dream. Schumann then focused his musical energies on composing. In 1840, Schumann married Friedrich Wieck's daughter Clara Wieck, after a long and acrimonious legal battle with Friedrich, who opposed the marriage. A lifelong partnership in music began, as Clara herself was an established pianist and music prodigy. Clara and Robert also developed a close relationship with German composer Johannes Brahms. Until 1840, Schumann wrote exclusively for the piano. Later, he composed piano and orchestral works, and many Lieder (songs for voice and piano). He composed four symphonies, one opera, and other orchestral, choral, and chamber works. His best-known works include Carnaval, Symphonic Studies, Kinderszenen, Kreisleriana, and the Fantasie in C. Schumann was known for infusing his music with characters through motifs, as well as references to works of literature. These characters bled into his editorial writing in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Journal for Music), a Leipzig-based publication that he co-founded. Schumann suffered from a mental disorder that first manifested in 1833 as a severe melancholic depressive episode—which recurred several times alternating with phases of "exaltation" and increasingly also delusional ideas of being poisoned or threatened with metallic items. What is now thought to have been a combination of bipolar disorder and perhaps mercury poisoning led to "manic" and "depressive" periods in Schumann's compositional productivity. After a suicide attempt in 1854, Schumann was admitted at his own request to a mental asylum in Endenich (now in Bonn). Diagnosed with psychotic melancholia, he died of pneumonia two years later at the age of 46, without recovering from his mental illness. "Du bist wie eine Blume" ("You are like a Flower") Op. 25 No. 24, appeared in the Book of Songs in 1827 and is the 47th poem in the cycle The Homecoming . The work, which was probably written in 1823 or 1824, is one of Heinrich Heine's best-known love poems. The catchy poem begins with an extremely well-known comparison. The attributed attributes of fair , beautiful and pure do not deviate from the traditional gender role of a young woman. Consequently, the speaker does not venture any closer to the girl in the second stanza. The gesture of laying on of hands goes hand in hand with the desire to preserve the qualities mentioned. Hans H. Hiebel sees a threat to “untouchedness” through reality, “physical sexuality, perhaps also rudeness [...]”. Consequently, the “state of purity - despite all threats - is aesthetically immortalized”. The serious tone of the song is not ironized - unless one assumes that the lyrical self wants to understand the supposedly pious gesture of laying on of hands as a possibility of physical assault on the flowery, untouchable young woman. As a result, the lyrical self itself becomes a cause of the threat to sexual intangibility described by Hiebel. The social impossibility of this action and thus of the erotic rapprochement would then be the reason for the “wistfulness” of the lyrical ego evoked in the first verse. The love song is extremely popular. The poem has been set to music 388 times alone, including classical composers such as Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Anton Bruckner, Johannes Brahms, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Jean Sibelius. The most famous setting comes from Robert Schumann.
