| Synopsis | In the same year, 1810, two sublime piano composers were born: Frédéric Chopin and Robert Schumann. Since his childhood, the former suffered from a lung disease that would follow him throughout his short life, while the latter, already an adult, developed a psychiatric disorder that would condemn him to die alone in a sanatorium for the mentally ill. Their paths crossed once, and they performed their own and each other's pieces on the piano. Their lives and, perhaps, their extraordinary musical creations cannot be fully understood without knowing their medical histories, which are recounted here. |
