Clara Wieck (Schumann)-2






Please remember to leave a comment with first name and homeroom.

During her lifetime (1819-1896), Clara (Wieck) Schumann (she was married to Robert Schumann another musician) was known as a concert pianist--in fact, she was considered one of the greatest pianists of her day! As a child, she gave her first public performance at age eight, and at eleven, she toured all over Europe. Since she performed the music of other composers, her own compositions were not often performed during her lifetime. Today, Schumann's music is very well known, and now you know her music too!

Here are a few examples:





Piano Concerto in A minor (this is a lengthy selection- the first few minutes will give you  a taste)

    Dear Mr. Montague, I loved listening to music from Clara Schumann! When I was listening I made a picture in my mind. Scherzo made me think of Cinderella dancing in the ballroom 🎶 . Trio was like the sun rising ☀️ and all of the animals waking up. Piano Concerto was like someone going on an adventure. 🚢 I love these songs! From Lorelei

John Williams

Be Sure To Leave A Comment With Your Name.  Without a doubt John Williams is one of America's best known composers. He was born in 1932 to a musical family- his father was a percussionist (instruments that you strike or hit like drums).  He studied music in college and played in the US Air Force band. He started writing music for movies in the nineteen fifties. When he was 29 years old he won his first academy award ( one of many) for the movie "Fiddler on the Roof". He then wrote the music for "Jaws" winning another academy award. His most well known work is the music for "Star Wars" - this is music that is known around the world! He also wrote the music for the Harry Potter movies! Here are some examples: The Imperial March with Mr. John Williams!

I know the  Rite of Spring 's harmonic quality is not that of Charlie Parker. Neither are they that of Johann Sebastian Bach. But they all had what Stravinsky called the magnetic attraction, the polaric attraction of sound." (NPR-2016) He is considered to be one of the most influential composers of the 20th and 21st century, introducing the use of pre-recorded music in a concert and the use of ostinatos. Radiohead gives him credit for some of their music. He won a Grammy i...
