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.

@berlay Grade 3 piano generally corresponds with your fifth year of piano as a kid (oftentimes the start of the third year of piano as an adult, depending on how hard you work).
Preparatory, Grade 1 and grade 2 piano are all about the beginner stages. You learn how to read notes and rhythms with increasing complexity. Once you finish this level, you should be comfortable with most notes on the staff, interval identification should be quick, and you should be reasonably skilled with the most common rhythms.
In grade 1 and 2, you start developing hand independence and style – like the ability to pull off louds and softs in an emotive way, or play staccatos and accents.
So once that’s out of the way, we hit grade 3, which is the first intermediate level. Grade 3 is considered “early intermediate”, and everything between levels 3-6 is considered intermediate. Once you hit Grade 7, that’s when things start getting advanced.
Basically, by Grade 3, you should be comfortable with all the basics. So in Grade 3 piano, instead of drilling rhythms and note reading, we get to start spending more time on theory, history, and interpretation.

@joncaju Kim Taehyung is one of 7 members in the music group bts. He posted a link to this video along with that quote, meaning that when he listens to this piece, he feels as though he is strolling through the stars. I believe he sees this music as that of beauty and wanted to share his feelings about it!

What does this quote mean? I feel old because I have no clue who Kim Taehyung is. I am just here to listen to Horowitz play one of the most beautiful melody ever written.

Armys, lets be respectful to the artist and not spam the comment section with “i came from weverse”, Because people are actually expressing their opion on this piece and discussing it.

@its me Bri브리안나 I'm here because of a novel written by an norwegian author about a serial killer that would play this piece of music after murdering hi's victims....
Mark Giroux
@J V you realize that by saying this, you cluttered up this video with an extra 37 comments right? Kind of counterproductive...

@Maria 03 this was over a year ago?? 😭
also no i don't have to accept it because instead of filling the comment section just saying "i came from weverse" at least most should have listened to what tae recommended and left a nice comment instead of you know, leaving a comment that was being said multiple times already like we get it, alot of armys came because of taehyung no need to fill the comment section with it only😃 it's common human decency just saying.
