- Summary:
-
"When Christian Reimers went to Dusseldorf, he lived with and became a close family friend of the composer Robert Schumann and his concert pianist wife Clara. From a musical point of view, he not only played through the Schumann Cello Concerto in its draft form with the composer at the piano but also the now-lost Cello Romances. He also met many of the main composers & players at the time. When Robert Schumann encouraged investigation into the latest fad out of the USA - Spiritualism, he found in the young man someone keen to explore this new mystery. These few short years would have a profound effect on the path his life would take. Already a talented artist, the rest of Reimers' turbulent life would be dominated by music and spiritualism, especially blossoming in Manchester, London and Australia."--Publisher website.
