Abstract

The lives of Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) and Robert Schumann (1810–1856) reflect the spirit of Romanticism. In both biographies, dawn and dusk merge, for they were both child prodigies and both suffered premature deaths. Both were born in Germany and suffered from mental illness. In their lyrically intense works, musical complexity is interwoven with the intimate union of music and text. This chapter focuses on the relationship of both musicians to economics; however, the story of how their paths intertwined until they almost blurred, which led both of them to earn a place in the musical Olympus of Romanticism, will unavoidably be part of the plot.
