Robert Schumann: Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13
“Clara Schumann is less known as a composer than as a piano virtuoso and interpreter of her husband’s works. Her great composer talent has always been slightly pushed back by Robert Schumann. For instance, he wrote 12 impromptus pursuant to young Clara’s temperamental romance to prove his superiority to her. The artistic couple’s great love survived these petty jealousies, however, and at the premiere of the Symphonic Etudes at the Leipzig Stock Exchange, Clara did not only commit to her husband against her father’s wish. She also cited the very same romance theme in her variations op. 20 and sent these to her husband, who at the time was in a mental home in Endenich.”
