1. Schumann （舒曼）: Robert Alexander Schumann
(1810-1856) was a major German composer, music critic and leader of
the romantic movement. His compositions and music journal greatly influenced
the music of his time. Though he wrote orchestral and chamber music,
he best expressed his ardent romanticism in his piano works and songs.
Most of the latter were composed in 1840.

2. Concerto: concerto is a musical composition
for one or more solo instruments supported by an orchestra. The three-movement
orchestral form was elaborated by Bach（巴赫）. Handel（汉德尔）added the cadenza（装饰乐段）as
a regular feature. Mozart set the style for the modern concerto: the
orchestra announces an opening subject, then takes a subordinate position
when the solo instrument enters, thus establishing the pattern of interchanges.
Beethoven added many novel touches to Mozart’s basic form; others including
Mendelssohn（门德尔松）and Schumann have developed the concerto, using a wide
range of solo instruments.
