An impressive novel based on the life of Clara Schumann, the celebrated 19th century composer and concert pianist, a friend of Brahms and the wife of Robert Schumann who cared for him through a series of crippling mental illnesses as well as being the mother of his eight children.
Reseña del editor
In a radical departure from her previous work, Janice Galloway's new novel is based on the life of Clara Schumann: celebrated nineteenth-century concert pianist and composer, editor and teacher, friend of Brahms - who was also the wife of Robert Schumann, the mother of his eight children, and the woman who cared for him through a series of crippling mental illnesses. Whilst also being a meticulously researched account of two remarkable and highly dramatic musical careers, this is a novel primarily about timeless, common things: about the inescapable influences of childhood, about creativity and marital life, about communication and silence, about how art is made and how art, in turn, may erode or save the life that nourishes it. Dismissing the cliches of Great Art and scathing in its rejection of the romantic conflation of Madness and Creativity, Clara takes as its heart an examination of the place of love in a life of increasing isolation and alienation. Luminously written, mordantly political and disturbingly honest, Clara asks how we make a pattern of the world, what it means to be Good or Great, how scarifying choices are made, and how we endure.

Soft Card Covers. Zustand: Very Good Plus. Second Impression. 2002. 425pp. Signed by the author on the title page "This is Mary's too, Janice Galloway Edinburgh 2002". Novel based on the life of Clara Schumann. "Reaching her prime before the dawn of recorded sound, Clara Schumann, an acclaimed virtuoso pianist who had her own international career in European concert halls in the latter half of the 19th century, is now, sadly, only known by report as the perfect champion of her husband Robert's music. However, the bare bones of her biography hint at hidden depths: the mother, Marianne Tromlitz, who left her husband and daughter for another man; the father, Friedrich Wieck, who nurtured her career single-mindedly; the marriage, violently opposed by her father, to Robert Schumann, who soon fell into depression and whose short life ended in an asylum". Book has very slight wear to corners. Front cover slightly creased. Light wear to corners. Otherwise, in excellent condition. Signed by the author. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ScotLitGall03
