…He was a literary figure who represented the liberal tendencies of the late Romantic period. His work Die Liebe und Leben (1830) is famous for being composed by Schumann (1840). As a botanist, he joined the Russian circumnavigation expedition from 1815 to 1818, where he collected tropical plants and was the first to discover the phenomenon of alternation of generations in the chordate salps.

From Schumann

…In piano pieces such as Papillon (1831), Carnival (1835), Fantasy Pieces (1837), Scenes from Childhood (1838), Kreisleriana (1838), and Fantasia (1838), he added new content to traditional forms such as sonatas and variations. In songs, he set works by Romantic poets such as Heine's Die Poetebein (1840), Eichendorff's Liederkreis (1840), and Chamisso's Die Welt (1840), achieving a high degree of unity between poetry and music and enriching the piano parts, and thus realizing his own Romantic style, inheriting Schubert's legacy. In his middle period, in his 30s, he expanded the scope of his compositions from chamber music such as Symphony No. 1 (Spring) (1841), Symphony No. 2 (1846), Symphony No. 3 (Rhein) (1850), three string quartets, a piano quintet, and a piano quartet written in succession in 1842, and two piano trios in 1847, to the oratorio Paradise and the Peri (1843) and the opera Genoveva (1849), establishing his reputation as a universal composer.
