A Recent psychobiography Message-ID: <1525@bbncca.ARPA> Date: Tue, 13-Aug-85 15:46:48 EDT Article-I.D.: bbncca.1525 Posted: Tue Aug 13 15:46:48 1985 Date-Received: Wed, 14-Aug-85 02:52:50 EDT Organization: Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Cambridge, Ma. Lines: 17 Xref: linus net.music.classical:835 net.motss:1646 The book whose title I sought in an earlier message is: Peter Ostwald, SCHUMANN: The Inner Voices of a Musical Genius, New England Universities Press, 1985, $24 or $28. It's a "psychobiography" of Robert Schumann. During a discussion of homoerotic writings of Schumann, Ostwald alludes in a footnote to homoerotic poetry and other texts by Franz Peter Schubert. All of the documents in question are accessible to the public, but this may be a fairly recent state of affairs. So far I've failed to find a copy of the book. When I do, I'll post the relevant passages. Da da da dum! Ron Rizzo
