SCHUMANN'S PIANOFORTE Music
Played by GERTRUDE PEPPERCORN
Faschingschwank aus wien (Viennese Carnival
Merriment)
SCHUMANN began his musical career at a very early age ; when he made his first appearance in public as a pianist he was such a little fellow that he had to stand up at the keyboard instead of sitting down. But it was intended that he should become a lawyer and he had reached the age of twenty before deciding to take up music as his profession. Along with poetry, it had been his chief interest in life, and his studies in law, although nominally carried on for three years, were sadly neglected in consequence. Having taken the plunge, he set himself with tremendous zeal to become a front rank artist, and as a short-cut to mastery of the instrument, invented a device for strengthening the weak fingers. There are no short-cuts, as Schumann discovered to his cost; the invention completely crippled one of his fingers, so that all thought of a pianist's career had to be abandoned.
He was able to play all his life, but with only nine fingers instead of ten, a handicap which he rightly regarded as insuperable. He turned his attention instead to composition and literature, combining the two with a success which has very seldom been achieved by any one man, and doing work in both which is destined to have a permanent influence.
In spite of his misfortune, he knew the pianoforte extremely well, and his music for it exploits its resources in a way which no former composer had thought of doing. He obtains effects of richness and fullness which had not before been dreamed of; many of his pianoforte pieces have almost the bigness of orchestral effect. Many, even the smallest of them, have poetic bases, though it is supposed rather that the names he gave them were added after the pieces were completed than that he wrote the music to illustrate any definite poetic idea. It matters but little ; even though the listener does not know the name of a piece of Schumann's which he is hearing, it always has for him a message of its own.
