This is sublime. Recently studied the Romantic period. Clara Schumann seems under-rated.

Oh. Tell me about it. She is. Clara, and Felix Mendelssohn's sister Fannie. Both were totally ignored for the most part during their time, and it was remarkably sad, TBH.

The way she played the same phrase at the start twice but they sounded completely different. Amazing

Isata is a passionate player! It does bother me that people think of Clara Schumann as some sort of sideline composer. Her work has its own voice and makes its own statement. So many people think this about women composers. First of all her name is Clara Wieck. She married Robert Schumann and then added his name. He ought to have added hers. She was the pre-eminent pianist of her time and without her Brahms and her own husband would've not become who they were to become. I listen to the way Isata peforms her work and she really brings out something amazing and special in it-- that is to say the unique voice of Clara herself. (AT least from my POV)

I'm reading a Brahms bio right now, and that's why i ended up here. Everything you said matches the book....and much more. She had an impossible road, but she met every challenge. At times, she carried both Schumann and Brahms, relentlessly championing and performing their works, while being a single mom of 7 children, and composing her own works. Unbelievable.

Yes I am reading Clara Schumann by Steegman. Essentially her father didn't want her to marry Robert because Clara's career was stronger and he knew their marriage would put her in the background. She had already toured and met many famous composers in her teenage years. It was her who would play some of Robert's music in private settings to try to promote him. She also was incredibly strong during their marriage seeing as Robert had many mental health issues.

Thank you so much, Justin, for alerting us to that beautiful passage - very brief, but scintillating and so delicately nuanced! Isata is wonderful. ~ Michael

Not a piece I know, but wow! Such a talented musician, so expressive.

Everything is beautiful here, the music, the musician, the passion. I love it.

Haven't stopped listen to Classic FM since watching Isata and her incredible family on Christmas Day.

Amazing….. my bedtime music for this evening.. beautifully played and yes, l do believe Clara Schumann is very underrated…. A fabulous composer in a time women weren’t…sad….. her music is wonderful…..and played like this…SPECTACULAR….. bravo Isata…

Beautiful playing with elegance. This is what makes the piano so beautiful. Beautiful enough to make people shed tears of joy

Amazing work of Clara Schumann, wonderful interpretation by Isata. Added to my playlist.

I felt the notes of this piece resonate within. Clara Schumann's work is superbly played here by Isata Kanneh-Mason!

Divine! Incredible! Thank you! Such sensitivity and depth of feeling, wisdom, technical mastery-wonderful!

Beautiful, amazing, soul-shaking! I believe Clara Schumann Wieck would be impressed. Bravissima, maestra Isata 👏💖 !

What exquisite music-making by a sensitive and gifted pianist! A worthy complement to the magical spiritual and artistic essence of Clara Schumann!

A lovely practitioner of Clara Schumann works. excellent.

Amazing interpretation, technique, tone, musicality....this pianist is AMAZING!! I’m so glad KZread suggested this piece to me!

Gorgeous music, gorgeous playing.

Brava! This is my first hearing of ANY Clara Schumann work, and I don't know whether Isata's interpretation is influencing my perception, but I greatly look forward to hearing more of both! DOUBLE brava!! 😁🎼🎶💯❤

Fantastic, still listening, weeks later. What a discovery, its so emotional and touching. To be honest, it grabs me more than most of her (Clara Schuman's) husband's work...

You are so right! She is very special It's like the music and her is united! Superb!🥰❤

Восхитительно!! И технично и с душой, все так чистенько!!! Браво!

So sweet and smooth touch Like clouds moved gently By a gentle warm breeze of the wind Were colour is no issue Just beauty what I feel When I close my eyes No judgement All I hear Is a pearl playing And leave my heart In sweet tears

Ms. Isata you are a gift from Haven. Your expression and rubato are exquisite. Definitely something I want to hear often. Brava

i love how she brought out the melody at 0:47

Watching and listening to this young girl so talented brings memories of similar feelings about young Martha Argerich. I didn't see the Argentinian pianist wearing white sneakers, but from there up are strong similarities, the same smooth technique and expressiveness. This is also the first time I hear some composition by Clara Schumann, and I find it very pleasant.

Clara wasn't a "sideline" composer. She was a great child prodigy in piano and composing. She sacrificed her career to raise her family and take care of her husband - Robert Schumann -who was seriously ill and eventually died in an asylum. She went back to concertiizing and showcasing her husband's music after his death well into her late seventies. She wasn't a "sideline" composer. She is to be admired all these years later!

really compelling and beautiful rendition.

Very beautiful. It sounds like a combination of Schumann and Chopin.

@@princelaugh-a-lot5551 It would make a lot of sense for her to have influence from both, as she greatly admired Chopin and not only did she and Robert have the same piano/composition teacher, Robert taught and helped her in her early stages of composing. While she certainly has a very individual voice and style, Chopin's and Robert's influence on her is undeniable

So wonderful!!! ❤️

Came here after watching Heart Of The Keys, stayed for a suрerb рerformance!

So who influenced who? Did Clara influence Robert or the other way around? The logical answer is that both both influenced one another.

Even less famous to rare classical pieces written by a 19th century Romanticist classical musical era German woman.
