description
A large part of Schumann's piano music was created before his marriage to Clara Wieck in 1840, which her father Friedrich Wieck, once Schumann's piano teacher, tried to prevent. Schumann himself connected literary interests with musical ones and finally persuaded his widowed mother and guardian to allow him to leave the university and to dedicate himself to the latter instead of studying law. A weakness in his fingers thwarted his ambition to become a virtuoso pianist, and after 1840, the year of his marriage in which he wrote a large number of songs, his young wife encouraged him to deal with larger orchestral forms before moving on turned to chamber music. Although he was widely respected both as a composer and as a writer on musical subjects, he did not hold an official position until he was appointed music director in Düsseldorf in 1850, his unfortunate term of office was interrupted by a breakdown and ultimate madness, leading to his death in 1856 led.
