Pianist & composer
Clara Schumann
One of the leading pianists of the century, performing for sixty-one years, and the person who established the recital as a serious concert form rather than a variety show.
Clara Josephine Schumann was a German virtuoso pianist, composer, and piano teacher. Regarded as one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era, she exerted her influence over the course of a 61-year concert career, changing the format and repertoire of the piano recital by lessening the importance of purely virtuosic works. She also composed solo piano pieces, a piano concerto, chamber music, choral pieces, and songs.
