He was also one of several Romantic composers to write on the melodic theme B-A-C-H (B flat-A-C-B natural), calling his Six Fugues on B-A-C-H, op. 60, \"The work which, I believe, will longest outlive my others.\" Schumann's only work for organ, it is a monumental composition, rich in contrapuntal invention and demonstrating Schumann's mastery of the fugue in a nineteenth-century style. The fugues were written in 1845, as Schumann's health had already begun to deteriorate. Biographer Eric Frederick Jensen writes: \"... in a fragile mental state, [Schumann] must have thought it helpful as a composer to be obliged to follow the numerous rules of counterpoint required by the style he had selected; in that sense, it was as if self-imposed boundaries had been erected, and some of the freedom of thought that appeared to frighten him at the time had been removed.\" (Eric Frederick Jensen, \u003ci style=\"\"\u003eSchumann, \u003c\/i\u003epp. 26–27.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eRobert Radecke studied at the Leipzig Conservatory and served as musical director of the Court Theatre of Leipzig beginning in 1853.
