클라라 슈만 硏究 序說 = An Introductory Study on Clara Schumann

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Clara Schumann is little known in Korea except as Robert Schumann's wife and as Johannes Brahms' friend. Therefore, this study can hardly go beyond an introductory character and thus a comprehensive overview including biographical study and interpretation.
Clara Schumann was a child prodigy under her fathers rigorous disciplines and developed into a great pianist who could vie with such piano virtuosi as Franz Liszt and Anton Rubinstein. Yet she was a woman. She had her happy moments as a maiden, a devoted wife and o mother. At the same time she had to endure the tragedies of the death of her husband in his most productive age and five children mostly in their prime age, and, as a widow, had to make a living for the remaining children including their education. She overcame such hardships in life through and with music. Her superhuman performing activities can be seen in the number of extant programs which amount to 2,000.
What she was as a woman and artist itself was an inspiration both to her husband Robert and to her friend Johanms. Most of the lieder of two composers were written because of and with their feelings, personal as well as artistic, toward Clara. In case of Brahms he submitted most of his compositions as they were written to Clara for review and comments, in the light of which he modified some of them. The friendship between Clara and Brahms, in spite of some negative remarks, was a beautiful one that was created out of their common love of and devotion to Robert and was consummated in music.
Clara the pianist took it as her life's calling to make known Robert's music and Brahms' through her performance. With Chopin's works added, she became a musical missionary of the emerging New Romantic Movement. Bach, Beethoven and Mozart also became the major part of her repertoire and programs. She did not compromise with or make adjustment to the tastes of the time but stuck to both the romantic and the classical, and succeeded in making them popular through her mastery of technique, solid interpretation and dynamic-lyric quality of her performance, and thereby advancing the musical culture of the time in terms of quality. She also helped make innovation in piano virtuosity 1) by introducing to Germasny performance by memory 2) and by establishing the tradition of solo recitals whereas the customary way of concertizing was to include the performing assistance of other artists.
She has left a voluminous amount of diaries and letters which became a resource for studies not only on herself, Schumann and Brahms but also on other musicians and the musical world of the time.
