Description:

It was quite possible for a woman musician to "make it" in 19thcenturyEurope. Clara Schumann achieved and sustained such a success for her entire professional life. By studying the lives and artistic accomplishments of "priestess of the piano" ClaraSchumann (1819-1896) and her husband, the deeply imaginative composer Robert Schumann, we seek to understand Romantic music of the Western cultivated tradition. The course will feature works by both the Schumanns - piano compositions, songs and chamber works - and by others of their time. Prerequisite: Music 200/201. Also offered through European Studies.
