Podcast Episode Summary
Robert Schumann set out to write a tribute to Beethoven. And he did that - sort of. There are themes by Beethoven - and the second movement sounds inspired by the great master. But the fact is, Schumann was in love, with the beautiful and talented Clara Wieck, and he couldn't help sounding like it in his music. See what you think.
