"The depth and solemnity of Beethoven's melody and later polyphonic richness is a leading source of Schumann's inspiration, though Schumann's artistic schemes exclude any high degree of formal organization on a large scale." (quote from http://www.nndb.com/people/871/000024799/)

"Robert Schumann was a composer who greatly admired the work of Beethoven calling one of his string quartets “simply heavenly.”[7] Schumann frequently stated that he valued instrumental music over vocal music, and thought that emphasis on “Beethovian” instrumental works should be continued into the future of music.7 Nine years after Beethoven’s death, Schumann decided to become a supporter in the unveiling of a new monument of Beethoven in April of 1836. He decided to contribute by composing Fantasie, op. 17, which contains much musical allusion to Beethoven’s sonata standard.7 This sonata seemed to serve as a sense of closure of the form considering Schumann’s view that “the sonata was a form which appeared now to have run its course.”7 Schumann decided to put more emphasis on the string quartet, and did so emulating the later style of Beethoven. In Schumann’s quartets the “Beethovian” idea of the separate movements being so smoothly intertwined so that it is unclear weather the piece is one giant movement or four separate movements is used. This idea is “a view which is supported by Beethoven’s unconventional decision to number each movement in the score.”7 Though Beethoven was a dominant presence in the music of Schumann, he stressed that innovations must always be made in contemporary music just as Beethoven was able to accomplish"
