"[...] Sodann bittet mich die Arnold`sche Buchhandlung, die Spitz`sche Orgelschule anzuzeigen. Sie schickten mir unlängst einen Theil zurück; haben Sie den anderen nicht mit erhalten? Die Orgelschule soll doch vieles Gute erhalten ? Ich bitte Sie um eine Antwort.
Haben Sie sonst nichts ? [...] Ich möchte gerne Weihnachten auf 14 Tage verreisen, und vorarbeiten. Können Sie mir dazu behilflich sein, so dankt es Ihnen
Ihr - ergebener - R. Schumann"
Translated:
" [...] Then Arnold's bookshop asked me to Spitz's organ school. You recently sent me back part of it; didn't you receive the rest? The organ school is supposed to contain many good things, isn't it? I would appreciate a reply.
Do you have nothing else? [...] I would like to travel for two weeks over Christmas and get some work done. Could you help me with that? Thank you very much.
Yours - sincerely - R. Schumann"

Robert Schumann was a renowned German composer, pianist, and music critic of the Romantic era. He was born on June 8, 1810 in Zwickau, in the Kingdom of Saxony. Schumann showed an early interest in music, and began studying piano at the age of seven.
After studying law at the University of Leipzig, Schumann decided to pursue a career in music. He studied composition with Friedrich Wieck, the father of his future wife, Clara Wieck. Schumann's compositions were known for their lyrical melodies and innovative harmonic language.
In 1839, Schumann founded the influential music journal "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik" (New Journal for Music), where he championed the music of contemporary composers such as Chopin, Liszt, and Brahms. He also wrote many music reviews and essays for the publication.
Schumann's works include symphonies, chamber music, piano music, and songs. Some of his most famous compositions include the Piano Quintet in E-flat major, the Piano Concerto in A minor, and the Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, also known as the "Rhenish."
Despite his success as a composer, Schumann struggled with mental health issues throughout his life. In 1854, he attempted suicide and was subsequently admitted to a mental asylum, where he passed away on July 29, 1856.
Robert Schumann's contribution to music is significant, and his compositions continue to be celebrated for their emotional depth and originality. He is considered one of the most important figures of the Romantic era in music history.
