9. Clara Wieck-Schumann | Natasha Loges

Probably a XIXth century woman couldn’t contribute significantly as an artist, composer or concert organizer, right?And if we apply the critical eye of early music to more recent times, what do we get? Here we take a step aside to discover the work of Clara Wieck-Schumann (1819-1896), a genius pianist and talented composer, overshadowed by a composer husband at a time when married women were kept out of the public sphere. Natasha Loges, professor of musicology, tells us about her career as a pianist after her husband's death and how concerts were scheduled in the 19th century, at the height of the Romantic period.To go further >CREDITSguest Natasha Loges, musicologistinterview & editing Andrew Burnproduction REMAcredits music Platée, Act 1, Orage - Jean-Philippe Rameauperformed by Les Talens Lyriques, dir.
