From the time he was a little boy, playing with his beloved cat Ziff, Robert Schumann had a happy, pleasant life. He grew up in Saxony village, and unlike many of his contemporaries, Robert had few problems to overcome. His work, family life, and training in music all brought him joy and much renown. Opal Wheeler has selected Schumann as another great man’s life, with many selections from his compositions, making this a fresh new volume in the Great Composers library of musicians.
