Schumann Journal
This is to bring to your attention a new product of the Schumann Network, a journal entirely focused on its name giver, which is supported financially and ideally by theFederal Commissioner for Cultural and Media Affairs (BKM), the Minister of State for Culture and the Media, Bernd Neumann. His welcome address, published in the first issue of the Journal, 1 (2012), underlines his interest and the importance which he and the Department of Music within his Ministry attach to the Schumann Network.
The Schumann Journal is of international orientation, taking into account the Schumann-related activities all over the world. The target audience is not a musicological professional audience, but artists, Schumann lovers and interested laypersons who are well informed and are meant to be inspired by the Journal. For this reason, the review of the year, presenting recordings on sound and image carriers, sheet music, books and films of the respective past year with an ample choice, each time with a brief summary in English, is of great importance.
Up to issue no.10 of the Schumann Journal – Nos. 1–10 were also published as printed copies – a review and outlook of forthcoming outstanding events relating to Robert Schumann – music festivals, premieres, music competitions, conferences and conventions, award ceremonies, etc. – was naturally also included. With the conversion of the Schumann Journal from No. 11 onwards to an exclusively only digital format, which can be accessed worldwide via the special Schumann Journal page on the Schumann Portal (www.Schumann-portal.de), corresponding links allow access to the review and outlook!
Original contributions to the Schumann Journal are of general interest and, as a matter of principle, always appear in the language of the author, with an English translation or at least a detailed summary in English.
