Work:
The relationship between Robert Schumann, Clara Schumann, and Johannes Brahms started out as student comes to work with mentor but evolves into something more complex. Brahms had been introduced to the Schumanns in October 1853 with a letter of introduction from the violinist and composer Joseph Joachim. Brahms was then 20 and Schumann praised him in print in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik as ‘fated to give expression to the times in the highest and most ideal manner.’
~
One of the first things that the young Brahms did to thank Robert was to write a set of variations on a theme taken from a work written in 1841. The Funf Albumblätter: I. Ziemlich langsam, published part of Schumann’s Bunte Blätter, Op. 99.
