A concert by Niccolo Paganini in 1830 in Frankfurt was the decisive factor that turned Schumann permanently to music. After some stormy correspondence with his mother, she finally agreed to let him continue his studies with Wieck. He took up residence in the Wieck home and concentrated on developing into a virtuoso pianist. In his anxiety to make rapid progress he experimented with a sling device to strengthen his fingers; by irrevocably straining his right hand he ruined all chance of becoming a virtuoso. He therefore decided to concentrate on his composition studies and worked with Heinrich Dorn, choirmaster at the Leipzig opera, under whom Schumann completed the second part of the Papillonsand an Allegro for piano. He also embarked on an intensive study of the music of J. S. Bach.

  • "To a Butterfly " by William Wordsworth I've watched you now a full half-hour,

    Self-poised upon that yellow flower;

    And, little Butterfly! indeed

    I know not if you sleep or feed.

    How motionless!--not frozen seas

    More motionless! and then

    What joy awaits you, when the breeze

    Hath found you out among the trees,

    And calls you forth again!
