Clara Wieck learnt composing as a natural part of her musical education at a young age. Fourteen years later, she wrote, with Robert Schumann’s guidance, her piano concerto, which she performed herself two years later in Leipzig with Fredrik Mendelssohn as the conductor. Clara, who married Robert at the age of 18, is best known as one of the most gifted pianists of the 19th century, but was also quite active as a composer until family life took too much time and energy. Terés Löf and Bernt Rosengren perform works by both spouses; romances and piano pieces, as well as Robert Schumann’s beautiful Adagio and Allegro for Oboe and Piano.
