name was Clara, a talented pianist from childhood, was a disciple of his father, Friedrich Wieck, an important teacher of that art. When he was 11 years, came to live in his house a young music student named Robert 19 years.
Clara was very mature for his age, and gave recitals and made tours. On ivory of the keyboard, little by little, the hands of Clara and Robert joined innocent complicity, a friendship that arose while kept over the years, she trips and later the departure of him, through a voluminous correspondence.
Over time, Robert was feeling that Clara, now converted into a beautiful young lady, life could reach the highest poetic value, and adds, his other great passion shared with her music ... and was falling in love with the girl, feeling that was reciprocated.
On hearing the father opposes the relationship, because even felt Robert could not be considered along with their qualities, their weaknesses. Not only this century that presents "illusions" to youth, also seen in the past, in full fashioned romantic nineteenth-century bohemian life is extolled as an ideal, drunkenness, being carried away by the passions of the decoupling reason, love affairs, living for today without worrying about tomorrow ..., many followed the Hamelin flute and paid the consequence ... Robert was the victim of all this ...
But young and still finding true love, decides to change and faithfully delivered to him and his music, and asks the girl's hand, but the father does not agree. Wanting to get married, had two options, wait until she reaches age of majority at 21, or go to court, did the second and were married to meet the girl of 20 years.
As an example of the "details" you should always exist between any couple, we have secretly Robert published the songs he composed during the first year of marriage and gave them to his wife.
As to the second great love for Robert, music, began as a concert, but too much exercise you paralyzed a finger of his right hand, forcing him to leave the piano and concentrating, fortunately, in musical composition and teaching. He left a wonderful work, and independent tumultuous youth, classical and more maturity. With her depth of feeling expressed and the fleeting brilliance of poetry, breaking out of established patterns with undoubted originality. This loving husband and a great musician called Robert Alexander Schumann, one of the great German masters of all time.
Robert and Clara's husband, like many artists, suffered periods of monetary tightening, but most were sublime moments, capture them, separately, in a newspaper he gave to her the day after the wedding, which took the two together for years ... Robert wrote night and day Clara, where they wrote their pains, joys, daily events and recipes, he died first and she continued to write this unique day. As an example, we read there that: "There comes a long tour. This time the separation was painful and I crave the scent of your skin and your kitchen. How much I love it! I look forward to see, hear, touch, smell. Maybe I'll surprise you with a new song, the kind that I admire so much .... " On this occasion, for the return of Robert, Clara became a recluse in the kitchen to prepare a partridge braised in red wine, as only she could cook in Germany, as her husband. Clara
composed music, and every solstice Robert wrote his piece, even after he had died.
... They loved each other deeply shared life and work ... Robert encouraged her in her profession and she had him ... No ... They studied together rivalries, commented, thought about what you both did ... They read literature also similar.
The home, husband and children (had 8), did not prevent the professional success of Clara as a concert pianist and composer, known for organizing well. After 15 years, and throughout his life, is among the most important pianists of the nineteenth century with Liszt and Thalberg.
human were not without friction, Robert, sometimes bothered by Clara tours, accompanying even had to learn to understand and respect the activities of the wife. Also, Clara had to be patient to cope with psychological disorders of Robert, who thought he had "bipolar" as well as a physical illness acquired in his youth, which gradually undermined his body ... At the end of his life (he was just 46 years), his loving wife, friends and alumni, accompanied him in those last moments in the nursing home where he had to seclude. She died in her arms, the man who did not bet to be successful (although it was a lot), but his wife loving her ...
was Clara who later patiently collected all the work of Schumann which comprised 35 volumes (highlighting its beautiful compositions for piano and chamber music).
The last page of "diary" marriage, is dated the day before Clara's death (40 years after her husband). With mild stroke wrote: "Here I go." In his final moments, his grandson Ferdinand She played for a work of Robert, and listening, died ...
