Στην ερωτική ιστορία της βιρτουόζου – συνθέτριας Clara Wieck και του μεγάλου Robert Schumann, διάσημων καλλιτεχνών της εποχής τους, συνοψίζεται το ρομαντικό πνεύμα που δίνει στην εποχή το όνομά της. Αξίζει να ψάξει κανείς την ιστορία, ακούγοντας το κονσέρτο της για πιάνο και ορχήστρα.
Η Clara Schumann, όπως πέρασε στην ιστορία, ήταν μια από τις πολλές περιπτώσεις δημιουργικών γυναικών δημιουργών που η φωνή τους δεν έμελλε να αναδειχτεί, σε ένα επαγγελματικό χώρο κυριαρχημένο, τότε, από άνδρες.

The love story of virtuoso – composer Clara Wieck and the great Robert Schumann, both famous artists of their time, sums up the romantic spirit that gives the era its name. It is worth looking into the story, listening to her concert for piano and orchestra.
Clara Schumann, as she went down in history, was one of many creative women whose voice wouldn’t emerge in a professional field dominated, at the time, by men.
