    This whole performance brought me tears I never thought I'd see a woman of colour play classical piano it gives me hope to continue my musical studies at Trinity college thank you so much thank you🥺🥺🥺🥺 I can't express how much this means to me as their have been many racist people who have thought bad of me practicing thank you Isata

    Isata is a passionate player! It does bother me that people think of Clara Schumann as some sort of sideline composer. Her work has its own voice and makes its own statement. So many people think this about women composers. First of all her name is Clara Wieck. She married Robert Schumann and then added his name. He ought to have added hers. She was the pre-eminent pianist of her time and without her Brahms and her own husband would've not become who they were to become. I listen to the way Isata peforms her work and she really brings out something amazing and special in it-- that is to say the unique voice of Clara herself. (AT least from my POV)

      @charlotterose6724 Před 3 lety +21

      I'm reading a Brahms bio right now, and that's why i ended up here. Everything you said matches the book....and much more. She had an impossible road, but she met every challenge. At times, she carried both Schumann and Brahms, relentlessly championing and performing their works, while being a single mom of 7 children, and composing her own works. Unbelievable.

      Yes I am reading Clara Schumann by Steegman. Essentially her father didn't want her to marry Robert because Clara's career was stronger and he knew their marriage would put her in the background. She had already toured and met many famous composers in her teenage years. It was her who would play some of Robert's music in private settings to try to promote him. She also was incredibly strong during their marriage seeing as Robert had many mental health issues.

    Watching and listening to this young girl so talented brings memories of similar feelings about young Martha Argerich. I didn't see the Argentinian pianist wearing white sneakers, but from there up are strong similarities, the same smooth technique and expressiveness. This is also the first time I hear some composition by Clara Schumann, and I find it very pleasant.

      Clara wasn't a "sideline" composer. She was a great child prodigy in piano and composing. She sacrificed her career to raise her family and take care of her husband - Robert Schumann -who was seriously ill and eventually died in an asylum. She went back to concertiizing and showcasing her husband's music after his death well into her late seventies. She wasn't a "sideline" composer. She is to be admired all these years later!

While she certainly has a very individual voice and style, Chopin's and Robert's influence on her is undeniable
