In the spring of 1841, Robert Schumann wrote euphorically in his marriage diary: ‘The idea of publishing a book of songs with Clara has inspired me to work.’ The newlyweds soon dedicated themselves to setting twelve poems from Friedrich Rückert's ‘Liebesfrühling’ to music.
While Robert puts his musical contribution down on paper in a very short time, Clara does not succeed so easily. Disillusioned, she notes: ‘I have no talent for composition at all!’ Robert encourages his wife not to despair of this task. What a luck for us!
Experience the song cycle ‘Liebesfrühling’ at its place of origin and learn more about the challenges of the first years of marriage that Robert and Clara Schumann spent in Inselstraße.
