Download or read book Clara Schumann s Piano Notebook written by Gail Smith and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents seven piano solos that represent the wonderful variety of compositions by Clara Schumann. The brilliant “Polonaise” was composed and performed by Clara as a child prodigy. The enchanting “Prelude, Op. 16, No. 2”, and “Romance, Op. 21. No.2” are both beautiful and suitable for many occasions. The joyful “Mazurka” makes a great recital piece as well as “Scherzo” in C minor. “Nocturne in F, Op. 6, No. 2" is one of the most beautifully written nocturnes. Chopin once told Clara that she was the only woman in Germany that could play his music. She may have been inspired to compose this piece after performing many of Chopin's works in her concerts. The final piece in this collection of Clara Schumann’s Piano Notebook is her “Theme and Variations”, which she dedicated to Robert Schumann. Robert composed and published many variations of his own on Clara's theme. Her own variations remained unknown until recently. These variations are very interesting, and the theme is easily recognizable throughout. “Theme and Variations” truly showcases Clara’s unique sense of creativity. These piano selections are presented as examples of Clara Schumann's legacy–a great composer of the 19th century. Her music is timeless and must be preserved for future generations of pianists. This collection will be valuable for recitals, programs and your own enjoyment.

Book excerpt: At the age of nine, Clara Wieck gave her first public performance as a concert pianist. She played beautifully. When the concert was over, she felt as if she were dancing on a cloud. As she grew older, Clara's concerts took her all over Europe. Audiences adored her, and she became friends with other famous musicians—including her father's student, Robert Schumann. Robert and Clara fell in love and eventually married. Robert took some of Clara's melodies and shaped them into compositions, and Clara performed his pieces, introducing them to new audiences. Throughout her life, Clara Schumann's performances set the standard for piano music. The greatest composers of her time—impressed with the power and beauty of her playing—wrote music for her. Clara was a pianist, composer, and mentor, as well as an inspiration to the romantic movement that was her life. She made the piano sing.

Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and his wife Clara Wieck Schumann established a household centered almost entirely around music and their children. Inspired by his home life, which helped provide him with a mental stability that he struggled all his life to maintain, Schumann wrote a great deal of Hausmusik : modest, everyday music to be practiced and performed in the home. His first foray into this kind of literature, the Album for the Young, Op. 68, remains his most admired, even to this day. Includes audio recordings. Editor & recording artist: Jennifer Linn
Download or read book Anniversary Songbook 14 Songs Medium Low Voice Incl CD written by Clara Schumann and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 999 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clara Schumann (née Wieck) was undoubtedly the most important female pianist of the 19th century. As a young child she toured Europe as a prodigy: her entire career as a celebrated piano virtuoso spanned more than 60 years. Equally important, but less well known, is the composer Clara Schumann, who published her Opus 1 at the age of eleven. Despite the domestic duties expected of a woman at that time, she created numerous outstanding piano works and songs that are at least the equal of those of her male contemporaries. However, society at that time did not allow women to be regarded as fully-fledged composers or for their works to be appreciated adequately. To help give this important composer the recognition she deserves, Edition Peters, in collaboration with the Schumann-Haus Leipzig, is now, on the occasion of her 200th birthday, publishing this Anniversary Songbook for Medium-Low Voice. The 14 songs, representing the pinnacle of Clara's art, were composed mainly in the period after her marriage in Leipzig to Robert Schumann - who was her greatest champion. This volume includes: new practical editions of 14 of Clara Schumann's greatest songs introductions to each song, written by Frances Falling, Schumann-Haus Leipzig new English translations of the song lyrics a CD containing recordings of the piano accompaniments
