Music is what feelings sound like



Milan, Bocconi, Aula Magna - Schumann... In order to relax and become part of a world long forgotten, a different reality where one can be himself, where there is no need for words, where it is peaceful and yet tumultous.... I was in one place and yet in many, i was there, and yet somewhere else. With so many people around, and yet alone. I was me, and yet different. Listening, i felt myself slip away into my own dreams, i saw people, i saw places, i saw smiles and i saw frowns... I found answers to questions and asked some new ones, in and out of reverie...
It is a foggy night with no one around.... What will tomorrow bring?

Robert Alexander Schuman (1810 - 1856 ) was a German Composer, aesthete and influential music critic. He is one of the most famous Romantic composers of the 19th century. He had hoped to pursue a career as a virtuoso pianist, having been assured by his teacher that he could become the finest pianist in Europe after only a few years of study with him. However, a hand injury prevented those hopes from being realized, and he decided to focus his musical energies on composition.
