The book explores the life and contributions of Robert Alexander Schumann, a significant figure in classical music, detailing his formative years, career challenges, and interactions with other notable composers of his time. At the start of the biography, Batka provides an overview of the cultural and artistic context into which Schumann was born, drawing parallels to the influences of major composers like Händel, Bach, Beethoven, and Wagner. The narrative begins with Schumann's childhood in Zwickau, describing his early musical education at home and the significant events that influenced his development as a musician. The text delves into his family background, including the contrasting attitudes of his parents toward music, and highlights early instances of his creative expression through both music and literature.
