HelpRe: Clara
in reply to a message by blaaaarg
I'm currently writing a lengthy paper about Schumann and how his mental states (healthy versus not) can be heard in his music. Which book are you reading? Is it the one by Henry Pleasants, perchance?

No it's actually the one by Schumann! Music and Musicians. Not the collected "criticisms" and writings, but about half of them. Edited by someone named Fanny. It's incredible. I want to write up some quotes from it but everything is so good. If you can get ahold of it at a library I really recommend it - I didn't really understand the whole Florestan/Eusebius thing before reading some of these essays.

Oh, thank you. I will add it to my list of sources!
