Clara Schumann

Composer and pianist Clara Schumann achieves a modern milestone

Music

Clara Schumann was one of 19the Century Europe’s most well-known pianists. She was also a composer, but her husband, Robert Schumann, eclipsed her in this realm. A recording of one of Clara’s piano trios has now been inducted into a prestigious collection at the Library of Congress — putting her, at least in one small way, on a par with her better-known spouse.
