Book #2 of #17booksonmusic I first bing-read as a young girl: "Frauen mit Flügel" - Life stories of famous female pianists
This compilation of publications gives us a glimpse into the life of eight famous female pianists. Clara Schumann writes in letters and diary entries of the triumphal but exhausting concert tours and her struggles in the marriage with Robert. The renowned teacher Mathilde Verne and the child prodigy Adelina de Lara recount in their autobiographies their piano lessons with Clara Schumann, the American Amy Fay describes in her popular book “Music-Study in Germany” her classes with Franz Liszt and Carl Tausig. Lili Kraus writes about how music helped her cope with her Japanese captivity, Rosalyn Tureck talks about her relation with Bach and Moura Lympany writes entertainingly about her great success and her eventful private life.
My personal favorit: The self-ironic, funny and tender letters full of grim humor by the wonderful Clara Haskil.
