'''Robert''' (Alexander) '''Schumann''' (1810-1856), was a [[German]] composer and music critic, and one of the leading musical lights of the early romantic era. He was the son of a bookseller/publisher and grew up engrossed in the romances of Sir [[Walter Scott]], and ‘Jean Paul’, and the poetry of [[Byron]] and others.  As a composer, much of his music was inspired by works of literature, the German countryside, and his own romantic proclivities. As a critic and writer on music, and an editor of a music magazine, he did much to introduce and further the careers of aspiring composers, notably [[Frederic Chopin]] and [[Johannes Brahms]].
