So the personalities of these two individuals were very different.Ĭlara Schumann was a great source of strength to Robert Schumann, and in fact the start of their relationship was one of the things that really instigated a lot of Schumann's finest music. He was very volatile, which is the opposite of Brahms, who was a master craftsman and very consistent someone who was very unflappable as a person and a great pianist.
He had great creative bursts of energy where he would write lots of music, then he would get very depressed, and was not able to write anything, but then he would have another one of these creative urges and he would write a whole series of songs or a symphony. Robert Schumann, by all accounts, was a highly strung, very neurotic individual deeply insecure and quite volatile, but highly inspired. Tonight's talk is a little bit about their legacy, but before we look at the different ways they have actually influenced the musical world, we need to look a little bit at the personalities of these two very famous and, in different ways, very great composers. Tonight is the last part in the series of concerts that have explored the music of Brahms and Schumann, and also have taken a look at the music of Joseph Joachim and Clara Schumann, Robert Schumann's wife.
