7. One of the great composers of the nineteenth century, X was the quintessential artist whose life and work embody the idea of Romanticism in music. He was uncomfortable with larger musical forms, such as the symphony and the concerto (nevertheless, representative works in these genres contain moments of great beauty), expressing the full range of his lyrical genius in songs and short pieces for piano. X's extraordinary ability to translate profound, delicate -- and sometimes fleeting -- states of the soul is exemplified by works such as the song cycle A Poet's Love, after Heinrich Heine.

Träumerei is one of X's best known pieces. It is the love song for X and his wife in the 1947 Hollywood film Song of Love, starring Katharine Hepburn as Clara Wieck.
