Ben moore. Beethoven. Schumann. Die Zeit: Herr Holliger, you reference Robert Schumann in all your compositions. You conduct Schumann and you have devoted huge amount of your time to his life and his work. You don't seem to be able to tear yourself away from this composer. Heinz Holliger: I readily admit that it is a little obsessive.How did your passion for Schumann begin? I was 14 or 15 years old, when I heard the Violin Sonata No. 2 and the Trio in G Minor at a concert in Berlin. On the contrary. What is it that keeps it burning? You never reach a dead end with Schumann and his analytical observations. Schumann composed at a feverish pace, yet he was most pedantic in all areas of his life. It's true, he wrote almost everything in a trance, at unbelievable speed. Robert Schumann's life ended in an asylum in Endenich near Bonn.
