Excerpt from The Schumanns and Johannes Brahms

Hen I began to write down these Memoirs in the year 1920, I was guided by a definite intention. I find that erroneous statements are current concerning [the lives and characters of my brothers. To disprove these by giving a faithful picture of their personalities as they are revealed first-hand in their letters, seemed to me a duty to them not only as beloved brothers, but as sons of our parents. I am not sure that I had publication in view _i felt constrained to say how things had really been, and I started to write. One word led to another, one remembrance called forth a thousand. I wrote for the pleasure of writing I surveyed my life and lingered where I listed. The longer I wrote, the more it was my mother's personality which became the prominent one. On her eightieth birthday I surprised my sister Marie with the first five chapters. She was pleased with them. A kind publisher who read them gave me encouragement, and induced me to supplement and revise. I took up the pen once more and found that I had many more things to say. The disconnected chapters became a book. If I have given little in it, it is the best that I have to give, the memories of great and goodtcharacters, of great and good; times.

This delightful memoir by the Schumann’s youngest daughter paints a detailed and lively family portrait and shows us the warm-hearted man behind the genius of Brahms. One remains in awe of Clara Schumann’s life and career.

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.

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2023

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.
