This review is from: Clara Schumann: Piano Works (Audio CD)

Clara Schumann (1819-1896) maybe it is only known to be Robert Schumann's wife , the great romantic musician of the XIX century, but she also had an excellent musical virtues, which are demonstrated in this disc compact, with melodies that make remember airs of Mendelsohn and Chopin, and even reasons that his husband, Roberto would pick up Schumann, in own works. This composer should not be rejected for only to seek it to compare it with the big of her time, you is necessary to remember that the woman in that time didn't have acceptance in the musical means, like wise you the case of Félix Mendelsohn 's sister . This disc is recommended highly, to listen romantic, melodious melodies and an exquisite piano that he will surely enjoy the listener. I also recommend them the concert piano for this composer.
