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
