A Cry from the heart
R obert schumann, a great fan
of Jean paul, was stimulated by
his works not just as a musician
but also as a writer. of particular
note are »Flegeljahre«, which
made a significant contribution
to the Romantic musical aesthetic.
stefan Litwin combines
this biography with a musical
work that could not be any more
Romantic: schumann’s sonata
in F sharp minor builds up to
a climax creating a musical density
previously unthinkable.
schumann himself described
the sonata in a letter to clara
as «a single cry from the heart
for you«.
