(Eva Weissweiler, editor)
The second volume of the Schumann correspondence contains letters written by Robert Schumann (1810 1856) and Clara Wieck Schumann (1819 1896) in 1839, documenting the major events of that year: Clara's concert tour and stay in Paris, Friedrich Wieck's continued vehement oppposition to Robert's courtship of his daughter, Clara and Robert's legal action to obtain the court's consent for their marriage, Clara's reunion and stay with her mother in Berlin, and the death of Robert's brother Eduard.
