Outstanding performance as piano soloist, Alice. Clara would be so proud that you performed her composition so brilliantly along with the conductor and orchestra.

[@AliceBurla]

Thank you very much Laura!

You're very welcome Alice. You deserve a standing ovation and then some.

Clara Wieck Schumann era un genio...parecchia della musica del celebre marito Robert è stata scritta da lei . Concerto capolavoro questo dal sapore brahmsiano . Johannes e Clara se la intendevano, erano innamorati..non si sa se il vecchio Robert lo sapesse o meno immerso com' era nella sua ": schizofrenia" fra Florestano ed Eusebio...Brahms fu sempre discreto nel parlare del suo rapporto con Clara dopo la morte di Robert. I 3 tempi della forma concerto classico si fondono quasi a formare intenzionalmente un unico primo tempo di concerto che si regge su un equilibrio perfetto senza bisogno di un movimento intermedio e di un finale. Un respiro unico appassionato e conciso consegnato a un virtuosismo pianistico non fine a sé stesso.

Quando Clara Schumann compose questo concerto, Johannes Brahms aveva solo due anni e Clara aveva 14 anni. Il concerto mostra una forte influenza di Chopin.

[@pedromariarivera]

Gracias por subirlo. Es una joya de una inmensa Clara Wieck todavía muy desconocida. Estoy añadiendo un relato hablando de ella en un libro que verá la luz dentro de unos meses. Ella y tantas compositoras olvidadas o casi. Escuchad también su trío para piano, violín y chelo, excelente.

[@AliceBurla]

Gracias por tu comentario y tu labor!

[@herminioteixeira5921]

Uma obra interessante e também controversa para uma agora autora sempre pronta a restringir, pessoalmente, a obra do amigo Brahms.

[@NicolasEjzenberg]

I can feel some Chopin's vibes here.

Absolutely!

[@johnfoerster7533]

I really try -- but I just don't get all that Clara S hype--- ok, ok, I totally agree that female composers (or musicians in general) have been - still are often - sidelined , discriminated etc BUT.... that doesn't mean one needs to artificially inflate the artistic value of a piece just because it was written by a woman. Just compare to what was composed at around the same time by others: Liszt, Wagner, Brahms, to name but a few. By contrast, her stuff is- well, conventional. there's no real jaw-dropping novelty here (and, indicatively, she really disliked and didn't understand at all Liszt's B-minor sonata- that kind of says it all). Yep, nice to listen to while driving or shopping as background- not more.
