Schumann on her mind

What makes Robert Schumann so special? Tiffany Poon has thought a lot about that question. The 26-year old New York pianist has spent years studying the great German Romantic composer and in her opinion: he’s extraordinary. Robert Schumann (1810-1856) wasn’t only a great composer, pianist and conductor – he was also a writer, publisher and musical visionary. For the documentary "Schumann on her mind" we met Tiffany Poon at her concert at the Dresden Music Festival 2023, where she performed works by Robert Schumann at the Grand Garden Palace. Is Schuman still relevant today?
