Robert schuman composer has been widely acclaimed for his influence on Classical music of his time, the so-called Romantic period of classical music. His influence in part was made on the strength of his ability to experiment and innovate with various musical styles. And it was in part attributed to his prolific nature. He left behind a body of hundreds of compositions, including more than 150 songs written for the piano in a single year of his life. All of this work was completed while raising a family of eight and battling a mental illness that eventually left him institutionalized at age 44. Two years later, he took his own life while in the asylum.
