Clara Schumann - Ihr Leben. Eine biographische Montage.
Mit einem Essay der Autorin "Mit Klebstoff und Schere".
Description
Written with scissors and paste, this 'biographical collage' of letter, diaries, contemporary documents and images paints a colourful picture of the life and work of one of the most important female musicians of the 19th century.
Daughter, child prodigy, wife, mother, beloved, artist - Clara Schumann, née Wieck, played many roles in the 76 years of her life. Happiness in love and the tragic end of her marriage to Robert Schumann, encounters with famous contemporaries such as Brahms and Chopin, but also Clara's relationship with her children, her self-perception as and artist and her role as a businesswoman are the themes of this gripping biography.
Piece by piece, letter by document by diary entry, the reader comes closer to the personality of a woman who was much more than the talented wife of a great composer.
Behind the gentle face, which used to look out with mild melancholy from the old West German banknotes, is a surprisingly multi-faceted, lovable and determined character.
