Schumanns Late Style is the first study in English devoted to RobertSchumanns littleknown music from the 1850s. The reason most often given forthese works having been considered lesser achievements than the earlier songand piano cycles is that Schumanns mental illness had a detrimental effect onhis compositions. However this study demonstrates that there were severalother still more complex reasons why the music from the 1850s soundeddifferent. Schumann had started to compose in a new manner depending more onpreliminary sketches he also began to write for larger forces orchestra andchorus which required a more public style of music as is also apparent inhis works on nationalist themes and in his more commercial pieces forchildren. This book thus attempts to disentangle assumptions about Schumannslate style from biographical interpretations and to consider it in broaderartistic social and cultural contexts. «
