Keyboard Conversations

The famous love triangle between Brahms and the Schumanns (Robert and Clara) is fodder for this edition of Jeffrey Siegel's illuminating concert-lecture series. Musical selections include Clara Schumann's Romance Op. 11, No. 2 (dedicated to Robert) and Romance Op. 21, No. 2 (dedicated to Brahms), Robert Schumann's Novelettes for Clara, and Brahms's Variations (Op. 18) and Paganini Variations (Op. 35), a gift to Clara.
