"His dream is to be a hardworking servant in a wholesome world.
His dream is to become the horseman who leads the people through the tempest and opens the gate to the future.
His dream is to become the storyteller who praises, admires and exalts the beautiful and spreads those beauties to the world.
And my dream is to contribute to making a world without philistines. What are yours?"
"Mine? Mine is to become a rich man, unknown to the public."

(A Little Life, Part 5, Chapter 2, pg. 602 - Hanya Yanagihara)
Why Schumann?
After some digging on the internet, I have learnt that it is not a coincidence that Hanya chose Schumann's Fantasie in C for this moment, and I believe Jude was playing the first movement in this part. Fantasie in C was composed in 1836 as only a piece called Ruines, expressing his distress at being distant from his beloved Clara, and then it became the first movement of Fantasie. The first movement of the work contains a musical quote from Beethoven's song cycle, An die ferne Geliebte (To the distant beloved) as a secret love message:
Take, then, these songs, beloved, which I have sung for you
However, this musical quotation was not acknowledged by Schumann. The movement also was prefaced with a quote from Friedrich Schlegel:
Durch alle Töne tönet / Im bunten Erdentraum / Ein leiser Ton gezogen / Für den, der heimlich lauschet.
Resounding through all the notes / In the earth's colorful dream / There sounds a faint long-drawn note / For the one who listens in secret
During this period, Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck was in separation because Clara's father disapproved of their relationship. Those quotations truly reflected his yearning to Clara, his passionate love to her, and it is more beautiful to learn that they communicated mostly through music and journals because Clara did not communicate verbally well. In a letter sent to Clara in 1838, he wrote:
The first movement may well be the most passionate I have ever composed - a deep lament for you.
They got married in 1840 but their marriage was not through an easy path because Schumann was not mentally well.

In August of 1844, he suffered a severe mental and physical breakdown. He was in pains, he trembled, wept, could not sleep and even became so sick that he could not walk across the room by himself. By February of 1854, Schumann insisted to be committed, as he felt that he had lost control of his mind. On 27th February, he attempted suicide by throwing himself from a bridge into the Rhine River. He was rescued and taken to the hospital later and remained there until his death on 29th July, 1856. During his confinement, Clara was not allowed to visit him (they communicated thanks to Johannes Brahms, a very good friend of the family, especially Clara) and only able to meet him 2 days before his death.
In Clara's journal on 26th February, 1854 (1 days before his attempt suicide), she wrote:
He was so melancholy that I cannot possibly describe it. When I merely touched him, he said, "Ah Clara, I am not worthy of your love." He said that, he to whom I had always looked up with the greatest, deepest reverence.
The resemblance of Jude and Schumann's mental illness may be one of the reason that Hanya chose this piece for Jude to play after he and Willem got home after their big fight. Jude plays the song with the intention to ease his sadness and fear. In this moment, he feels that this might be the end of their relationship, he is afraid that Willem would leave him because now he finally sees how sick he is. The piece Fantasie symbolizes a yearning for love but in this moment, it is a calling for Willem to stay, to understand, to forgive his action, his sickness.

Robert Schumann and Franz “The Little Mushroom” Schubert reacting to their own Portraits.
These pictures was taken at my Music School, I’ve been walking passed their Portraits every weekend so it gave me an idea.
And Yes ,their portraits got placed next to eachother.Robert must be very gladful to be close to his Idol.
There are portraits of Mozart, Rachmaninoff , Chopin and a bust statue of Bach in my school too. So maybe there’ll be a continuation to this 😉

💔Hector Berlioz in Maid day event + Log
Another composer some of you guys might have been waiting for.
Context : there’s this event in Japanese illustrator community called メイドの日 or “Maid day” being hold on 10th of May every year,where people will post their drawing of characters in maid costume. So ,as a follower of many jp illustrator,I can’t help but jump into this bandwagon with this iconic maid costume guy.
The four romantic composers gang made their cameo here too.

Robert Schumann(Cobalt memories parody)
As the title said , this one is a parody of the scene from Harumakigohan - Cobalt Memories.
The rock part is actually a paint over of photograph I took while I’m on a holiday trip.
The lyrics or story of this song actually has nothing to do with Schumann or the other composers.It’s just my weird idea of combining two completely unrelated things I like with eachother .(you will see more of these in the future.)

Random Schumann Trivia
Schuman had bad eyesight. Like, REALLY bad eyesight since he was no more than a kid. But he stubbornly refused to wear glasses, sticking to his lorgnette.
