AZENHA JUNIOR, João. Robert Schumann and translation: poetic creativity, simultaneity and movement. Pandaemonium ger. [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.19, pp. 213-230. ISSN 1982-8837.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1982-88372012000100011.

This study examines On Music and Musicians, by the German composer Robert Schumann, with special emphasis on the reviews written between 1834 and 1836, in order to identify echoes of the main ideas on language and translation developed in Germany between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. The bases for the study are, firstly, that of the subject, and, secondly, time imbued with the notion of movement. The subject is anchored vertically and in a very personal way, operating within the subject that moves from one system of signs to another, or from one language to another. The second theme takes into account the shaping of the immersion into an element which will break down the barriers of time and, at a stroke, bring the past into the present and include the future.
