What is NOT true about Robert Schumann (1810-1856)?

Robert Schumann is renowned for his contributions to piano music and the Lied genre, making option B not accurate. While he did compose some symphonic works, he is not primarily known for them. Instead, his legacy is characterized by his rich output for piano, such as "Carnaval" and "Kinderszenen," as well as his deep involvement in Lieder (songs), with pieces that showcase lyrical and emotional depth. Furthermore, Schumann was instrumental in establishing a music journal, providing a platform for other composers and advancing the understanding and appreciation of music during his time. This engagement with the musical community highlights his multifaceted role as a composer, music critic, and advocate for the arts, reinforcing that his reputation stems more from his contributions to piano and vocal music than to symphonic literature.
