Famous Composer Robert Schumann’s Life in Miniature
Robert Alexander Schumann was born in Zwickau on June 8, 1810. The son of a publisher, his early love of poetry shaped his music. After losing his confidant and facing family pressure, he pursued music at Heidelberg University and met Papa Weick who helped reveal his genius.

Illness and nervous prostration finally led to his confinement in a private asylum until his death on July 29, 1856.
