Clara and Robert Schumann’s Circles in Dresden

Original language description

Clara and Robert Schumann moved to Dresden in 1844, where they resided until 1850. Little is known about their social life in Dresden, although Schumann scholars refuted both the notion of Dresden as a culturally underdeveloped town and the perception that the Schumanns lacked artistic innovation during their residency there. Indeed, they initiated and participated in a number of spontaneous private visits, meals, soirées, organised musical circles, matinées, and trios in their own or friends’ homes, walks and outings in the countryside, sociable visits to restaurants and coffeehouses, and public events. All these served the shared purpose, albeit in different forms, of communication about and through music. By illuminating facets of the Schumanns’ private and semi-public life in Dresden from the perspective of interpersonal communication, this chapter offers insights into how Clara and Robert Schumann communicated with their contemporaries through physical meetings, letters, visual components (such as drawings and lines of poetry) in album leaves, and musical material, together with a discussion of how these communications influenced their artistic outlook. In doing so, this chapter sheds light on the blurred boundaries between private, semi-private and public domains, especially as these levels of communication were merged in the Schumanns’ lives.
