Summary
Composer Robert Schumann's passionate devotion to his fiancee, Clara, and anguish that the marriage was opposed by her father Friedrich Wieck resulted, says author Basil Howitt, in some of his most stupendous work."Intense and unfulfilled longing for his beloved drew some heavenly music from Schumann," says Howitt, in his recently published book, 'Love Lives of the Great Composers'. No less than four major works grew out of all his pain and anguish." Howitt says: "My cumulative impression is that suffering and angst in love have produced more great art than has happiness."
