Robert Schumann and Clara Wieck were drawn to each other the moment
they met, but there were obstacles in the way. Clara was ten years
younger and her domineering father, Friedrich Wieck, Robert's piano
teacher, was against their relationship as it developed over the
years. He saw Robert as a dissolute womaniser, and he saw his own
reflected glory disappearing if Clara's career prospects as a
pianist diminished. But the couple did marry, with help from the
judiciary, and had a happy life together, so happy that their
increasing number of children did indeed hamper Clara's performing
opportunities. Then a young composer, Johannes Brahms, came into
their household as a disciple of Schumann and nothing would ever be
the same again. About The Author Christopher Morley is Chief Music
Critic of the Birmingham Post, and contributes to several
international magazines. Schumann has always been very special to
him, and a visit to the asylum in which the composer died made a
huge impression upon him.
