The Mysteries Of Robert Schumann [A Music Dude]

This is Robert Schumann:

He is a kind of nice dude, he and I go back a long way, into the 17th Century.


He can tell jokes...

About his life story.


He tried to commit suicide three times by jumping off the bridge.  Fortunately for the world, and unfortunately for him, he lived.

His wife was called Clara.  She was very beautiful, and she had many admirers besides her husband, *Cough, cough, Brahms, who was a generation younger than her.*  However, Brahms did not marry Clara for she did not want to marry him.  So what did Brahms do?  He fell in love with Clara's daughter.

Silly, isn't it?


Schumann thought that if he put weights on his fingers, they would become stronger when he played the piano.  Unfortunately, he was mistaken and the weights broke his fingers: he was unable to play any instrument.  ðŸ˜­!

That is when he came up with a 'brilliant' idea.  He started composing.  My favourite in his deemed "Album for the young" is Wilder Reiter.  In case you don't speak German, I'm not implying that you have to, Wilder Reiter means: Wild Horseman.

Unfortunately, I do not trust google because they spelt Papercut wrong.  They spelt it as Paper cut.  Therefore that is all I will tell you about Schumann
