Robert Schumann
Born in 1810 in Zwickau, Robert Schumann was a German romantic Composer of the 19th century. His main focus was the piano, an instrument for which he composed numerous masterworks. Starting piano lessons around the age of ten, Schumann never acquired the level of skill comparable to his contemporaries such as Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt or his wife, Clara Schumann, due to an injured right hand, thought to be the result of either a syphilis treatment, or a surgery to increase the strength and reach of his fingers. Read Full BioBorn in 1810 in Zwickau, Robert Schumann was a German romantic Composer of the 19th century. His main focus was the piano, an instrument for which he composed numerous masterworks. Starting piano lessons around the age of ten, Schumann never acquired the level of skill comparable to his contemporaries such as Frédéric Chopin and Franz Liszt or his wife, Clara Schumann, due to an injured right hand, thought to be the result of either a syphilis treatment, or a surgery to increase the strength and reach of his fingers. Music was also a passion that he started later in his life than most great composers. He first focused on publishing and then law, before pursuing his love of music, "Poetry vs. Prose", as he put it. Around 1840 Schumann began to venture beyond the piano and write more diversely instrumented works. He composed 4 symphonies, several concerti, hundreds of songs, as well as notable chamber music, including 3 string quartets and a piano Quintet. He died in 1856 in a mental institution 2 years after attempting suicide by leaping into the Rhine. It is still debated whether his mental breakdown was caused by syphilis or a bipolar disease. There is strong evidence on both sides of the argument.
Throughout his life Schumann was a notable music critic and writer, publishing many works. He was noted for attempting to revive the music of the 18th century, that of Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven which had taken a back seat to the Romantic "liberation" of which he himself was a large proponent. His wife Clara Schumann was talented composer and pianist as well, composing a body of works. She was in fact such a great pianist (superior to Robert) that she sometimes inspired great jealousy and anger in her husband, especially when she played his compositions. Despite his mental breakdown and jealous temper, Robert Schumann’s legacy is that of one of the champion of Romantic and programmatic music. With the effort of his wife Clara and his friend Johannes Brahms, much of his work was published and promoted throughout Europe preserving him in history as one of the greats.

Emmanuel Gapud
He's at a house now. When he was little, he would run through a house just like this with a flashlight pointed at the ceiling, pretending he was an astronaut soaring over the moon.
A familiar person's here. He's not sure how he found him - maybe he's been followed, but they're talking now, and Bill is given an address, an address his mother never wanted him to have, he says, but it's important that Bill have it now, an address where he can find his father. Bill's real father, a man who was gone before he was born. A man he'd only met once, but was too young to know it.
And he's driving again now, for several hours. He's not sure, and with every mile, he loses a few more memories, and he finds another motel, and that night, he eats a lot of ice cream and doesn't remember his dreams at all.
He's in a nursing home.
Is he old?
Is he old?
A room full of windows.
A room, full of windows.
And he gives a name on a paper that's not in his handwriting to the front counter, and a frail old man is being wheeled to see him now, a man who's been here for over ten years but rarely had a visitor.
Neither of these two people remember why they're there or who exactly this other person is, but they sit and they watch a game show together.
And when it's time for Bill to leave, he stands and says something beautiful to him.
And neither of them understands what he means exactly but the old man begins to cry anyway, and they will never see each other again.
