13 January 🖋 Clara Schumann — Three Romances, Op. 22 I. Andante molto “There is no greater joy than creating,” Clara Schumann once wrote. Her time was rarely her own — but when she found a moment, she sat at the piano and composed. Sometimes just a note. Sometimes, eternity condensed into a few bars. She was more than one of the great pianists of the 19th century. Clara was a composer, a teacher, a mother of eight, a wife, and an inspiration to Chopin, Liszt, and Brahms. Critics said even her simplest performances carried a soul. Even after personal tragedies and heavy burdens, she kept writing — piano works, chamber music, art songs. The piano was her escape and her return, her space for tenderness, strength, and silent beauty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1miZzWZ2I&list=PLalx8qOygDw4WY13p1F8xlbFZmK5qdXQS&index=13
