Clara Schumann, also known as the European queen of the piano, carries a great and sonorous name of the nineteenth century. Considered an outstanding musician by her peers, Clara is one of the first professional pianists in history. Her exceptionality, determination, as well as deep love and passion for music was evident from an early age, so her talent could not go unnoticed. The support of her family, especially her father, was a key factor for the young musician to realize her artistic ambitions and leave an indelible mark in the world of music. Her significant contributions in the concert field, composition and teaching career were only part of her rich heritage: throughout her life she successfully balanced her career with the role of a caring wife and mother. From young age until almost the end of her life, Clara encountered numerous obstacles, cruelties and losses, which greatly influenced the formation of her personality. In those moments, art sometimes seemed like a survival strategy for Clara, and it seemed that it was from art itself that she gained strength and stability, which was the key to maintaining family life. Her life story is proof that art, just like life is often a combination of ups and downs, challenges and successes, struggle and perseverance.
