Clara Schumann - Prelude and Fugue Op.16, No.2

Today's Classical Corner... Schumann - the 'other' one!
Starred in the Classical Corner in the past, and once again quite worthy of it. Considered one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era, she spent her life promoting her famous husband with her own concert performances of his works. She was in her own right quite a composer, but was also a mother to 7, and supported the family financially for most of their married life. It is said that she grieved "women weren't meant to be composers".
i'm glad she proved herself wrong, then again she sacrificed the beauty she could have bestowed upon us all. Thankfully, some, like this, has remained.
