While studying piano with Wieck, Schumann met and fell in love with Wieck’s beautiful and talented daughter Clara. Her father vehemently opposed the union, however, and Robert perforce began a legal battle to win Clara’s hand. One of Wieck’s objections was that Schumann could not support himself, let alone a wife. Inspired by his love of Clara, and perhaps motivated to show that he could earn a living, Schumann turned to writing art songs, then probably the most marketable of musical genres. In 1840, Robert won a legal victory over Clara’s father, enabling the couple to marry. That same year, Schumann composed nearly 125 Lieder, including settings of poems by major Romantic poets such as Byron, Goethe, and Friedrich Rückert, as well as a few by Shakespeare.
