Life
Life
Schumann was born in Königstein as one of twelve children of the city music director Clemens Schumann sen. (18391918) and his wife Camilla Ottilie, née Müller. His elder brother was the composer Georg Schumann; other siblings were Alfred Schumann (18681891), latterly concertmaster with the Bremer Philharmoniker, and Clemens Schumann jun. (18761938), violinist in the Dresden Staatskapelle from 1900 to 1936. Schumann received his first lessons, as did his brothers, from his father and learned to play several instruments during his early childhood. From 1889 to 1893, he was trained first for a short time at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden, then at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig with Carl Reinecke, Salomon Jadassohn, Bruno Zwintscher, Paul Homeyer and others. In 1894 and 1895, he studied with Woldemar Bargiel and Robert Radecke at the Royal Music Institute of Berlin. During his time in Berlin, Schumann worked as a substitute organist in several larger churches. On 1 October 1896 he took up the post of full-time organist at the Hauptkirche St. Georg in Eisenach and at the Wartburg Chapel there. In 1906 he was awarded the title of Grand Ducal Saxon Music Director and Court Organist. Schumann organised numerous organ and chamber concerts in Eisenach – sometimes with the participation of his brothers Georg and Clemens Jr. – and was particularly committed to cultivating the music of Johann Sebastian Bach in his native city. In April 1914, he moved to Bad Gottleuba, took on a few more church music engagements near his home, but increasingly devoted himself to his compositional work away from courtly duties. Schumann died here on 29 December 1946 at the age of 74. His grave still exists today. In 1972, a headstone was erected in his memory in his native town of Königstein.
