We Need To Talk About Clara Schumann

We really should talk about Clara Schumann. Not just because she's a phenomenal musician, but also because she has an amazing life story. Turns out Mozart's not the only child prodigy on the block! Keep watching as we discuss Clara's performing origins, fighting against her strict father for the ability to marry her husband, continuing her prolific touring career, supporting the family towards the end of Robert's life, and having multiple conservatories begging for her to take on a permanent teaching position.
