Product description
When the piano teacher and music dealer Friedrich Wieck is presented with his second-born Clara, he enthusiastically admires the baby's "piano paws". "You'll outdo them all, my sweet Clara!" he whispers. Ambitious and at times tyrannical, father Wieck pursues the plan to turn his Clara into a musical prodigy, and she has both the talent and the will to do so. She performed in public for the first time at the age of eight and played in Paris at the age of twelve.
She is a virtuoso at the piano, enjoys success in the salons, quickly becomes famous and travels the country with her father for weeks at a time. When Clara is sixteen, she falls in love with one of her father's piano students, whose charming rebelliousness she is enthusiastic about: Robert Schumann. Father Wieck is strictly against this relationship, but in the meantime he is also plagued by other worries: Clara is no longer a child - and therefore no longer a child prodigy ...
