Clara Schumann (1819 – 1896) and Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897)
In history, the only unique love story between two great musicians
“I wish I could write to you as tenderly as I love you and tell you all the good things I wish you”. to Clara by Johannes Brahms
Famous composers Clara Schuman the child prodigy and world known Johannes Brahms were platonic lovers of music. But also shared a strong connection with one another that went beyond more than music.
First their relationship started when Clara first heard Brahms play for her and her late husband Robert Schumann. She fell in love with his music and even expressed it in her diary that his hands and face were very beautiful. Her husband Robert took Brahms on as an apprentice to help him with his music. Brahms was on board since he looked up to Robert as a composer and would see him as a father figure as time went on. Shortly after this introduction Robert fell ill and would later pass.
Brahms was there for Clara and her children. He would help comfort her and care for the children. Brahms would play his music to Clara to comfort her. She would depend on him for support and would ask him to continue to play his music for her.
They would go on to spend a lot of time together to help perfect one another’s music. Brahms even moved into the same building as Clara to be closer to her. Even though they grew very close for one another. There was no sign to the public that they were intimate with one another. But they would work very closely to help promote and celebrates Robert Schuman’s music since they both agreed he was a great musician and his late work was very undervalued.
They shared 40 years of friendship and platonic love with one another. They would write music for one another. Brahms would write songs for Clara expressing his love for her and Clara would play these pieces while on tour for her audience. While they would both tour separately, they would exchange letters to stay in contact expressing their feelings to one another. Brahms was a great friend to Clara even to her last days he was by her side and her families side.
