Robert Schumann Robert Schumann Robert Schumann was born on the 8 of June 1810 in Zwickau, Saxony. He is a German romantic period composer. His father, August Schumann was a bookseller. His father might not be a strong musician but he had strong artistic and literary learning, which Robert inherited from. He has creative urge and a determination to achieve his objective. This can be seen later in his struggle to obtain his wife in face of parental objection. Robert also inherited the instability of temperament from his mother, Johanna Schumann. She was an emotional and a sentimental person. He started playing at the age of seven. He showed his ability as a pianist and an interest in composing as well as literary. He was also enthusiastic over the writing of Jean Paul. August Schumann died in 1826 when he was only 16, followed by his nineteen years old sister. He was the fifth child in the family and therefore spoiled. He never quite recovered from his father and sister death, which increased the strain of melancholy from which he suffered periodically throughout his life.
