Eugenie Schumann, youngest daughter of the famed composer Robert
Schumann and his wife Clara discusses her memories of her life, and
her studies with Johannes Brahms. Drawing upon correspondences
between members of the Schumann family, Eugenie relates her
memories of childhood and education, and her experiences learning
music under the tutorship of Johannes Brahms. The ongoing fame of
her mother Clara Schumann meant the family was consistently under
the musical spotlight, the public eager for each new performance
and composition. Eugenie's recollections of her siblings are
poignant: more than once, we hear of the pressure her siblings were
under to meet the achievements of their gifted parents. Despite
these stresses, Eugenie places emphasis on her mother's caring and
compassionate nature - though the encroaching demands of fame were
a fact of the Schumann family life, Clara Schumann is praised for
her efforts at keeping the family united.
