Background
Schumann was a talented pianist; many of his early compositions were solo piano works. His love affair with his wife, though, brought him to broader expression of his musical ideas, starting with songs, many of which he wrote in 1940, in the run up to their (contested) wedding. Schumann is pure Romantic era, easily portraying emotions in his compositions.
