A pianist must balance her art with love! True biography!
This unusual and hard to find biographical novel concerns Clara Wieck, of Liepzig, Sweden, an infant prodigy when the great composer, Robert Schumann began to study music with her father. He was a welcome guest at the family home until he proposed marriage to Clara - when her father banished him! He didn't want anything to spoil her talent and gift to the world.

For 4 years she continued to give concerts and recitals, before realizing that she had to completely defy her father to marry her one true love. She was in her teens! What a way to ruin her life and her artwork!

But this author seems to think it was fine and dandy, so, whatever.

Rare Swedish novel written in English. ... Read more

Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Clara Schumann," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Clara Schumann in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Clara Schumann when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Clara Schumann, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more
