composer and pianist who was one of the most important
Romantic composers of the first half of the nineteenth century.
He was an intellectual and aesthete, and his early music was an
attempt to break with the classical music era and form and
structure. His music is now regarded as daringly original in
harmony, rhythm, and form, and he stands in the front rank of
German composers.
