Q. How
can I help Clara Schumann?
A . The best way
you can help is by telling your friends about ClaraSchumann.net,
and encouraging them to visit! Also, the challenge of the
Clara '96 campaign is to stimulate the performance of the music of Clara
Schumann - the call is to music schools, conservatories, and concert halls
around the world to commit themselves to perform all of her music, and
to students, performers, teachers and professors to do their part by performing
a single opus in a recital, or by presenting a whole concert of her works.
Many others can help by encouraging students to study her music, by conducting
research on her life and music, by playing her music on the radio and television,
by purchasing recordings and scores, and by attending concerts of her music.
Q.
What

life or works are discussed or presented, please submit details to the
ClaraSchumann.net
Webmaster.

Today page of the website. For a list of details needed, visit
