Clara Schumann From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Clara Schumann Clara Josephine Wieck Schumann September 13 May 20 ) was a German musician, one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era , as well as a composer. Her prestige - she became known as "the high priestess of music" - exerted over a 61-year concertizing career, changed the format and repertoire of the piano concert and the tastes of the listening public. Her husband was composer Robert Schumann Contents Biography Music of Clara Schumann Quotations Works (partial listing) ... edit Biography Wieck was born in Leipzig Saxony . She was the second of the five children of Friedrich Wieck , a piano salesman and pedagogue , and Marianne Tromlitz, a soprano who performed as a soloist and pianist. Clara did not speak a single word until she was over four years old. In fact, she described herself as understanding as little as she spoke and as having no interest in what was happening around her, a condition that was not "entirely cured" - as she put it - until she was eight years old. Clara Wieck's pattern of delayed speech and subsequent virtuosity is shared by other famous late-talkers such as fellow pianist Arthur Rubinstein , physicists Albert Einstein and Richard Feynman , and mathematician Julia Robinson among others.

Clara Wieck Schumann C lara Josephine Wieck Schumann was the great love in the lives of two incredible composers, yet much of her adult life was difficult and lonely. C lara Wieck Schumann was born in Leipzig on 13 September 1819 and she died in Frankfurt on 20 May 1896. Clara's parents were Friedrich Wieck (1785-1873), a music teacher, and Marianne Tromlitz Wieck Bargiel (1797-1872), a soprano and student of Wieck; Clara's father had resolved before her birth that she would be a great musician and child prodigy. S he studied with her father, Frederick Wieck, and made her concert debut at the age of 9. She was a rarity in her time: she studied at the Leipzig Conservatory. She quickly developed into a great virtuoso pianist. She was an accomplished pianist and toured selected European cities when she was 12. Around the time she turned 12, a young man named Robert Schumann became a lodger in her parents' home. I n 1837, now that Clara was above the age of consent, Robert asked for her hand in marriage. She accepted but her parents, specifically her father, did not. For the next three years, Clara's father refused to grant his permission and sought to block the marriage. Finally, the would-be newlyweds took her father to court! A judge sided with the young lovers and they were married in September 12, 1840. They first lived in Leipzig where they both taught in the Conservatory there; they moved to Dresden in 1844, to Düsseldorf in 1850. Their children were:

Back to Navigation page Celebrating two hundred and fifty years of music by women Clara Schumann Clara Schumann is the world's best-known neglected women composer. Her life is well documented elsewhere, so I won't cover it here. Because she was so busy with her dazzling career as a virtuoso pianist, not to mention looking after Robert and their seven children, she devoted relatively little time to composing. This was also due to her lack of confidence in this domain. It's really sad reading in the Marriage Diaries the way she always puts herself down relative to Robert, and awaits his approval. He clearly thought highly of her as a composer, while stopping her practicing when he was composing (so that he could concentrate). I find her music deeply expressive, with a consistent thread of thoughtful nobility running through it. Robert and Clara's musical languages have a striking similarity. For me the point is not who got there first, but what it indicates in terms of their musical interaction. Click on these works and books for more details below: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op 7

Clara Schumann The German romantic composer Clara Wieck Schumann (l8l9-l896) was one of the most famous pianists of her time, one of the great stars of 19th-century musical Europe. She premiered new works by Frederic Chopin, Johannes Brahms, and her husband Robert Schumann. While she composed prolifically from the age of nine, her spectacular performing career and the responsibility of supporting seven children after her husband's early death limited her output in her later years. Nonetheless, her musical output was 66 pieces. Clara Josephine Wieck was born in Leipzig, Germany, on September 13, 1819. Her father was a piano store owner and a highly esteemed piano teacher. Her mother, a daughter and granddaughter of a musical family, was a talented pianist and soprano; she helped her husband in the store and taught the advanced piano students. Whenever Marianne Wieck performed, Friedrich Wieck's reputation as a music teacher improved and sales increased in the piano store. Marianne ran a household, maintained a concert career and bore her husband five children in seven years. But Clara and her brothers received very little affection from their parents. Clara did not begin to speak until she was 4 years old, and her parents thought that she might be deaf. When Clara was 4, her mother left her father. She took her daughter Clara and her infant son with her. A few days before Clara's fifth birthday, Wieck took custody of Clara as was his right under Saxon law at that time, and the Wiecks were divorced when Clara was 5. Clara's mother Marianne remarried soon after the divorce, and her father remarried when Clara was 9. From the time of her parents' divorce the young Clara rarely saw her mother.

Clara Wieck Schumann Born: September 13, 1819, Leipzig Died: May 20, 1896, Frankfurt Biography Works Links - Composer Index In his own words.... "Composing gives me great pleasure...there is nothing that surpasses the joy of creation, if only because through it one wins hours of self-forgetfulness, when one lives in a world of sound." German pianist and composer. Clara was the wife of Robert Schumann, and one of the most celebrated performers of the century. Clara Schumann's music is typical for the early Romantic Era. Much of her music was written to be performed by her (piano concertos and pieces for solo piano), but she also wrote a number of songs and a well-respected trio (Opus 17). Most of her piano music consists of small single-movement works (preludes, various dances and the like). Her music shows a distinct lyrical quality and a solid though conservative approach to form. back to top Works: Solo piano music, including dances, caprices, romances, scherzos, impromptus, character pieces ( , Op. 15, 1845), variations (including one set on a theme by Robert Schumann, 1854), and cadenzas for Mozart and Beethoven concertos

Write the lyrics for a song Brahms might have written for Clara. Keep in mind that words for songs during this time period usually rhymed. 3. If you play an instrument, create an original short piece that Brahms might have written for Clara. Consider the emotions of love and how they might be conveyed through the music. Would the tempo be slow and the tone sad because love is unrequited, or might the tempo be fast and furious to show the frustration of two souls that never connect?

Tuesday, 7 March 2006 Robert Schumann, who died 150 years ago this year, would not have written much of his music without his wife, Clara. Muse to Brahms and Schumann, and mother of seven, she is revered as a musician and woman of historical significance. But does this image mask a darker truth about her personality? Born in 1819, Clara was the daughter of Friedrich Wieck, an ambitious piano teacher who groomed her to be a child prodigy. Schumann, one of Wieck's pupils, lodged in their house and first met Clara when she was a small girl. Later, her father, trying to protect his daughter from this thoroughly unsuitable young man, kept them apart until they took him to court and won the right to marry in 1840. Until then, Schumann filled his works with ciphers and sent them as coded love letters.
