Eugenie Schumann, youngest daughter of the famed composer Robert Schumann and his wife Clara discusses her memories of her life, and her studies with Johannes Brahms. Drawing upon correspondences between members of the Schumann family, Eugenie relates her memories of childhood and education, and her experiences learning music under the tutorship of Johannes Brahms. The ongoing fame of her mother Clara Schumann meant the family was consistently under the musical spotlight, the public eager for each new performance and composition. Eugenie’s recollections of her siblings are poignant: more than once, we hear of the pressure her siblings were under to meet the achievements of their gifted parents. Despite these stresses, Eugenie places emphasis on her mother’s caring and compassionate nature – though the encroaching demands of fame were a fact of the Schumann family life, Clara Schumann is praised for her efforts at keeping the family united.

5.0 out of 5 stars A family history, including Brahms from his joining the Schumans onward.
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2012
Verified Purchase
The author was the second youngest child in the Schumann family. Her father went to an insane asylum when she was two, and died there. As hard as she tried, the author couldn't bring up a direct memory of her father. She talks about how Brahms baby sat them while her mother, Clara, was out earning a living, concertizing all over Europe. Brahms continued in their lives until his death. She also talks about her loving relationship with her mother; her usual sibling like relationships with the other Schumann children; and how she would get mad at Brahms when he would make her mother sad, even cry, but none of them could be mad at Brahms for very long.

If you love the music of Brahms and Schumann, especially if you are the kind that reads the liner notes of CDs and the programs at concerts, you will probably enjoy these nicely-written recollections of Brahms, mother Clara, the Schumann children and friends.

This was a very enjoyable and informative first hand account of the remarkable Clara Schumann, her family, and her close friends during the period after Robert Schumann’s illness and death. The benevolence and integrity of all makes a heartwarming and insightful read.
