Summary of This Book
Clara Schumann (née Wieck) marked the 19th century as much through her career as a virtuoso as through a compositional output long underestimated. This collection highlights this essential facet of her legacy through 14 songs carefully selected, designed as a true journey into the world of the Romantic Lied. The works presented mostly belong to the period following her marriage in Leipzig to Robert Schumann, a key figure in promoting her talent, but also a witness to an era when recognition of women composers remained limited.
Published by Edition Peters in partnership with the Schumann-Haus Leipzig, this volume offers practical editions intended for both singers and accompanist pianists: clear layout, easy reading, and an approach oriented towards both stage and studio. Each Lied is preceded by a contextualized introduction written by Frances Falling, providing useful insights on the work, the text, and the context of creation to enrich musical interpretation.
To broaden access to the repertoire, the book also includes new English translations of the lyrics, valuable for stylistic work and text comprehension. Finally, a CD containing recordings of the piano accompaniments completes the set: a relevant support for rehearsing, preparing an audition, working on timing, or approaching these Lieder with a reliable sound framework. An ideal choice to enrich a voice-piano recital program, develop Lied culture, and rediscover a refined writing where the vocal line and piano engage in a subtle dialogue.
