I think he is one of the my favourite classical/romantic transition composers...his Toccata is sublime, his Fantasy pieces are amazing and also his Etudes are quite moving. It's also interesting that he thought of Chopin very highly.

Schumann is awesome
He wrote brilliant works, all of which radiated of his unique style that requires a great maturity to produce the appropriate quality of sound and emotion.
His life was interesting too.. really sad, like so many great musicians
he's one of my favorite composers... I hold him in high regard & admiration.

I love him. His works usually need some listening to get used to, but once you understand the philosophy behind a work he's just so damn good. I'm playing his Kinderszenen, and absolutely loving them. Such hard works for such easy sounding music.

It has often been said that his sense of harmonic rhythm was superior, and he was a very learned musician--like contemporaries Berlioz, Chopin, Mendelssohn, and Liszt--while exhibiting creative strength and tireless invention. His lieder are his best work, no doubt about that .

I adore Schumann as much as I adore Beethoven. I love his Davidsbundlertanze and Papillon, they are just brilliant, great pieces from a great composer.

I heard his Papillons for the first time not very long ago. It was the first piece of Schumann that I instantly loved.

Schumann is quite, yet not so appealing on first listenings. I have to concede that Schumann didn't strike me at first, his music sounds arbitrary and too spontaneous at times. But his music is unique. It's different from all other piano musics. I love his Krislenea and scenes from childhood.

Yes, Schumann has written some exquisit works, many of which you mentioned, also the Grillen (or Whims) I'm working on, great piece, from a great collection of pieces he wrote!

Is the grillen not from Fantasie Stucke? I think it is so. It's a really nice piece that I also love.

I think I can say for most, if not, all of us when I say "Absolutely amazing."
I just feel so compelled and into playing when I'm playing Schumann. Love his Davidsbundlertanze. Remarkable pieces.
Plus, it's kind of interesting to note that Schumann attempted suicide on the day I was born.

"Scenes from childhood" is something we all should learn.

It's a quite nice set of works. Lots of varied moods and very attractive. I think it is a good training set for children to learn, and for experienced pianist to interpret. I have yet to play it though.

Haha, yeah, there's a difference between "Kinderszenen" and "Album für die Jugend".
