Dear Friends, join us live from Rome for a very interesting program of romantic music and letters: Robert Schumann's "Frauen-Liebe und Leben" — dedicated to his wife - Clara Vick Schumann's "6 Lieder Op. 13", accompanied by the letters and diary of Klara and Robert.

This song cycle by Schumann was performed by Natalia in Carnegie Hall of New York just before the beginning of the Pandemic Time....

From Robert's letter :

Robert Schumann to Clara Vick Schuman.
Endenich, September 14, 1854 (from the​ CLinik, 2 years before Schumann died):

My life here is very simple.

"...The thought of my remissness towards you has often distressed me. You may not perhaps know that I have had a serious nervous illness for the past three months, and was, in consequence, forbidden every exertion, mental or physical, by my doctor. . .

How I wish I could listen to your beautiful playing again!"

From Klara Vick Schumann 's diary​ in the wading day. (September 12) . — Schönefeld

A period of my life ends here : if I have experienced trouble in my early years, there has been much happiness which I shall never forget. Now another life is beginning, life in him whom I love beyond all else and beyond my own self"
