| Balladen, op. 122 |
This list of compositions by Robert Schumann is classified into piano, vocal, orchestral and chamber works. All works are also listed separately, by opus number. Schumann wrote almost exclusively for the piano until 1840, when he burst into song composition around the time of his marriage to Clara Wieck. Partly due to Clara Schumann's encouragement, he then expanded his oeuvre to orchestral works, composing the 1st symphony, the 4th symphony, and the Overture, Scherzo and Finale Op. 52 in the year of 1841. The next year, 1842, is known as 'the year of chamber works,' where he notably composed 3 String Quartets, a Piano Quintet, and a Piano Quartet. Robert Schumann is known as one of the most prolific composers in the Romantic era, producing multiple works for multiple instruments, forms, and genres (both absolute and program music). The list is based on lists of his works, such as in the 2001 biography by Eric Frederick Jensen. |

| Das Paradies und die Peri, op. 50 |
Paradise and the Peri, in German Das Paradies und die Peri, is a secular oratorio for soloists, choir, and orchestra by Robert Schumann. Completed in 1843, the work was published as Schumann's Op. 50. The work is based on a German translation (by Schumann and his friend Emil Flechsig) of a tale from Lalla-Rookh by Irish poet and lyricist Thomas Moore. The peri, a creature from Persian mythology, is the focus of the story, having been expelled from Paradise and trying to regain entrance by giving the gift that is most dear to heaven. Eventually the peri is admitted after bringing a tear from the cheek of a repentant old sinner who has seen a child praying. Peter Ostwald in his biography Schumann: The Inner Voices of a Musical Genius records that Schumann "confided to a friend that 'while writing Paradise and the Peri a voice occasionally whispered to me "what you are doing is not done completely in vain,"'" and that even Richard Wagner praised this work. The cantata is generally held to be a significant achievement by Schumann, and it perhaps appeals less than it might otherwise to modern audiences due to the flowery, Eastern-inspired verbiage of the libretto, which represents a vogue for orientalism that was in full swing in the 19th century but has receded considerably today. This oratorio premiered under the composer's baton on 4 December 1843 in Leipzig. It was well received, and performances in Dresden and Berlin followed. The first English performance took place under difficult conditions at the Hanover Square Rooms in London at the invitation of the Philharmonic Society conducted by William Sterndale Bennett with Jenny Lind taking the leading soprano part. Paradise and the Peri was the vehicle for Gabrielle Krauss's first important appearance, in Vienna in 1858, when she was not yet 16 years old. |

| Gesänges Erwachen, WoO 21 |
The following is a list of the complete vocal output of Robert Schumann (8 June 1810 – 29 July 1856). Schumann was one of the most prolific composers of the nineteenth century. After producing almost only piano music during the early part of his career, he turned with such vigour in 1839–40 to vocal music that it made up the majority of his published work afterwards. His songs, part-songs and larger-scale vocal works were well-known and lucrative in his lifetime, and they have remained some of his most popular compositions. This list is based upon the Thematisch-Bibliographisches Werkverzeichnis, a comprehensive catalogue of Schumann's works compiled by Margit L. McCorkle and published in 2003. Since Schumann's death scholars have made several separate attempts to catalogue his works not published with Opus number. The result is that one work may bear several separate tags, as designated by the various cataloguers. The list gives as a lemma any WoO (Werke ohne Opuszahl) number assigned traditionally to works published, or prepared for publication, by Schumann himself. Posthumous publication of a work prepared for the press by Schumann is indicated in brackets. For works neither published nor prepared for publication by Schumann, RSW (Robert-Schumann-Werkverzeichnis) numbers, as assigned by McCorkle, are used. Hofmann-Keil (H/K) WoO numberings are given for some items in brackets; the catalogue Hofman and Keil prepared, though incomplete, was the most popular before the publication of McCorkle's, and the numbers they assigned are still occasionally used. For a list of all Schumann's compositions, see List of compositions by Robert Schumann. |

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (German: Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre) is the second novel by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published in 1795–96. A Bildungsroman, or coming-of-age story, it was published in 1795/96.

A comparison of the two texts reveals numerous verbatim similarities. The sequel, Wilhelm Meister's Journeyman Years, was published in two volumes in 1821 and 1829, respectively. |

Clara Josephine Schumann (; German: [ˈklaːʁa ˈʃuːman]; née Wieck; 13 September 1819 – 20 May 1896) was a German virtuoso pianist, composer, and piano teacher and prodigy. Regarded as one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era, she exerted her influence over the course of a 61-year concert career, changing the format and repertoire of the piano recital by lessening the importance of purely virtuosic works. She also composed solo piano pieces, a piano concerto, chamber music, choral pieces, and songs. She grew up in Leipzig, where both her father Friedrich Wieck and her mother Mariane were pianists and piano teachers. In addition, her mother was a singer. Clara was a child prodigy, and was trained by her father. She began touring at age eleven, and was successful in Paris and Vienna, among other cities. She married the composer Robert Schumann, on 12 September 1840, and the couple had eight children. Together, they encouraged Johannes Brahms and maintained a close relationship with him. She gave the public premieres of many works by her husband and by Brahms. After Robert Schumann's early death, she continued her concert tours in Europe for decades, frequently with the violinist Joseph Joachim and other chamber musicians. Beginning in 1878, she was an influential piano educator at Dr. Hoch's Konservatorium in Frankfurt, where she attracted international students. She edited the publication of her husband's work. Schumann died in Frankfurt, but was buried in Bonn beside her husband. Several films have focused on Schumann's life, the earliest being Träumerei (Dreaming) of 1944. A 2008 film, Geliebte Clara (Beloved Clara), was directed by Helma Sanders-Brahms. An image of Clara Schumann from an 1835 lithograph by Andreas Staub was featured on the 100 Deutsche Mark banknote from 1989 to 2002. Interest in her compositions began to revive in the late 20th century, and her 2019 bicentenary prompted new books and exhibitions. |

| Liederkreis, op. 24 |
Liederkreis, Op. 39, is a song cycle composed by Robert Schumann. Its poetry is taken from Joseph von Eichendorff's collection entitled Intermezzo. Schumann wrote two cycles of this name – the other being his Opus 24, to texts by Heinrich Heine – so this work is also known as the Eichendorff Liederkreis. Schumann wrote, "The voice alone cannot reproduce everything or produce every effect; together with the expression of the whole the finer details of the poem should also be emphasized; and all is well so long as the vocal line is not sacrificed." Liederkreis, Op. 39, is regarded as one of the great song cycles of the 19th century, capturing, in essence, the Romantic experience of landscape. Schumann wrote it starting in May 1840, the year in which he wrote such a large number of lieder that it is known as his "year of song" or Liederjahr. |

| Myrthen, op. 25 |
Myrthen (Myrtles), Op. 25, is a song cycle composed in the spring of 1840 by Robert Schumann. Its 26 Lieder were written as a wedding gift for his fiancée, Clara Wieck, and presented to her on the eve of their wedding which took place on 12 September that year. The cycle was published that same month, with a dedication to Clara, in four books by Kistner in Leipzig where the couple lived. The texts are poems by various authors, including eight by Robert Burns, translated into German by the poet Wilhelm Gerhard, and several each by Friedrich Rückert, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Heinrich Heine. The cycle was originally published in a version for high voice, but has been performed by singers of all voice types, sometimes by a woman and man alternating. The opening song "Widmung" (Dedication) is the best-known song from the cycle. Regarded as a profound expression of marital devotion, it was one of Clara Schumann's favourites among her husband's Lieder. |
