Review
Formed by his father, Friedrich Wieck, she was a prodigy girl and became one of the most admired pianist in Europe for more than 60 years. He married Robert Schumann in 1840 and had eight children with him.
After Robert's death he kept the family with his concerts, he spread the work of her husband and that of his great friend Brahms, and taught at the Frankfurt conservatory. As a composer he left high-quality works that are increasingly being interpreted today.
