"This volume does indeed manage to offer some significant
'rethinking' on Schumann, and even highlights more areas that could
be researched by scholars to come...The only disappointment in such
a collections of essays is when they finish." --Nineteenth-Century
Music Review
"This splendid and inviting collection of essays by a stellar group
of authors offers fresh insights into Schumann's later works and
their reception. Its methodological diversity and thematic breadth
represent the cutting edge of musical scholarship today."--Annegret
Fauser, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
"A rewarding and readable collection of new Schumann scholarship
that showcases current disciplinary perspectives. Historians,
analysts, and cultural critics probe Schumann's music and his
wide-ranging influence, paying special attention to lesser known
dimensions of the composer's work. Included are eye-opening,
exhilarating essays that we will turn to again and again."
--Kristina Muxfeldt, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University
"Contributors and editors alike have evidently strived to make this
extraordinary, revelatory collection prima facie accessible."
