Clara Schumann (1819-1896), child prodigy, celebrated concert
pianist, composer, and friend of Brahms, was also the wife of
composer Robert Schumann. Her father Friedrich Wieck's implacable
opposition to their marriage, the sublime music she inspired in
Schumann and his tragic death at a cruelly young age underlie one
of music's great romances. The German literary historian Berthold
Litzmann (1857-1926) first published his biography in three volumes
between 1902 and 1908, based on the diaries and letters of Robert
and Clara Schumann. Appearing in 1913, this two-volume English
translation by Grace Hadow (1875-1940) is an abridged version of
the German fourth edition, offering a lucid portrait of a central
figure in nineteenth-century European musical life. A preface is
provided by the translator's elder brother, William Henry Hadow
(1859-1937), the music historian. Volume 2 covers the years 1850 to
1896.
