Google has posted a new doodle on its homepage to mark German musician and composer Clara Schumann’s 193rd birth anniversary.
The Google homepage greets visitors with a doodle of Clara Schumann with her eight kids appearing to play the piano.
Clara Josephine Wieck was born in Leipzig on September 13. She was considered one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era. She was one of the first pianists to perform from memory, making that the standard for concertising.
Clara used to believe that “Composing gives me great pleasure... there is nothing that surpasses the joy of creation, if only because through it one wins hours of self-forgetfulness, when one lives in a world of sound.”
Her key achievement was that she changed the music taste of the listening public.
At the age of 76, Clara suffered a heart attack and eventually died of a stroke in 1895.

Clara Schumann's 193rd birth anniversary is the subject of the latest Google doodle. Clara Schumann was a German musician and composer. She was born on September 13, 1819 and was considered to be one of the most distinguished pianists of the Romantic era.
Today's doodle has Clara Schumann surrounded by her eight children, all of whom are seen playing the piano. There is an effective use of lively colours - blue, red, yellow and green to form the letters 'Google'.
Clara's parents separated when she was just four and was raised by her father Friedrich Wieck. She was inspired by her father and learnt the ropes of playing a piano. Her first performance was at the age of eight at the Leipzig home of Dr. Ernst Carus, director of a mental hospital at Colditz Castle. It is here that she met her future spouse and gifted pianist Robert Schumann. Schumann was nine years elder to Clara. He was so impressed with her performance that he left his studies to learn the piano from Clara's father.
Clara was considered to be a child prodigy and her music was famous all across Europe. When Clara was eighteen, she performed a series of recitals in Vienna between December 1837 and April 1838. This is how Clara felt about composing music, 'Composing gives me great pleasure...there is nothing that surpasses the joy of creation, if only because through it one wins hours of self-forgetfulness, when one lives in a world of sound.&qu

Born on 13 September 1819, Clara Schumann was raised by her father. Her parents divorced when Clara was only four years old.
In March 1828, whe she was eight years old, Clara performed at the Leipzig home of Dr Ernst Carus, director of a mental hospital at Colditz Castle, and met Robert Schumann, who was nine years older than her. Schumann admired Clara's performance and so much that he asked permission from his mother to discontinue his studies of the law, and take music lessons with Clara's father, Friedrich Wieck. She later married him.
Clara made her public debut in a concert in the Leipziger Gewandhaus at the age of 9. She was acknowledged throughout Europe as a phenomenally talented child prodigy. She was also instrumental in transforming the kind of programs expected of concert pianists.
At the age of 18, Clara Wieck performed a series of recitals in Vienna from December 1837 to April 1838. Clara Schumann's reputation brought her into contact with the leading musicians of the day.
In 1839, Robert Schumann a

CLARA SCHUMANN: Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 7; Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 17; Romances for Violin and Piano, Op. 22 – Veronica Jochum, piano/Joseph Silverstein, violin and conductor/Colin Carr, cello/Bamberger Symphoniker – Tudor
The creative output of pianist-composer Clara Schumann (1819-1896) traversed some twenty-four years, 1831-1855. The Piano Concerto (1833; rev. 1837) displays a decided lyric gift, within the conventions established by Mendelssohn and Chopin, as regards filigree and melodic rhetoric. Her only “orchestral” work, the A Minor Concerto easily falls into periods in its first movement structure, often reminiscent of Chopin’s E Minor Concerto. Like her husband’s more familiar effort, it evolved from a one-movement Allegro maestoso into a three-movement work of some breadth. The orchestral tutti has limited power, but it does provide a transition when necessary to maintain the form.
The brief first movement segues–a la Mendelssohn–into the Romanze, a gracious andante in typical romantic raiments. Jochum’s plastic, delicately broken chords find a companion in the cello, almost a concertante sonata for the two instruments. Piano and tympani invoke storm warnings, then a trumpet and the keyboard announce a polonaise in dynamic colors whose length combines those of the two previous movements. If the Beethoven Triple Concerto polonaise seems a close relative, the kinship may not be entirely accidental. Conservative

Clara Schumann (1819–1896)
The German romantic composer Clara Wieck Schumann (1819-1896) was one of the most famous pianists of her time, one of the great stars of 19th-century musical Europe. She premiered new works by Frederic Chopin, Johannes Brahms, and her husband Robert Schumann. While she composed prolifically from the age of nine, her spectacular performing career and the responsibility of supporting seven children after her husband's early death limited her output in her later years. Nonetheless, her musical output was 66 pieces.
Clara Josephine Wieck was born in Leipzig, Germany, on September 13, 1819. Her father was a piano store owner and a highly esteemed piano teacher. Her mother, a daughter and granddaughter of a musical family, was a talented pianist and soprano; she helped her husband in the store and taught the advanced piano students. Whenever Marianne Wieck performed, Friedrich Wieck's reputation as a music teacher improved and sales increased in the piano store. Marianne ran a household, maintained a concert career and bore her husband five children in seven years. But Clara and her brothers received very little affection from their parents.
Clara did not begin to speak until she was 4 years old, and her parents thought that she might be deaf. When Clara was 4, her mother left her father. She took her daughter Clara and her infant son with her. A few days before Clara's fifth birthday, Wieck took
