Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856)
Robert Schumann: Part Two
Despite the relentless and ruthless opposition of her father, Schumann and Clara Wieck were eventually married in 1840. During that same year, Schumann turned his attention to writing songs - and at a staggering rate. Donald Macleod intersperses stories from the Schumanns' early days together with music from the 'year of song'.
