Clara Schumann was a concert pianist and composer highly recognized in her time, in spite of standing prejudices against women as performers and artists. She was her husband's equal and actually took over the support of her family, as well as his care when he fell ill and had to be committed to an asylum till the rest of his life. Theirs was a moving love affair that ended tragically with his progressive insanity. Clara remained strong and took care of the family through her active performing career. Gabe Meruelo.
