From the bestselling author of The Forgotten Hours comes an unforgettable story of one woman's journey to reclaim what she lost in a country torn apart by the devastating legacy of WWII.

On the windswept shores of an East German island, Bettina Heilstrom struggles to build a life from the ashes. World War II has ended, and her country is torn apart. Longing for a family, she marries Werner, an older bureaucrat who adores her. But after joining the fledgling secret police, he is drawn deep into its dark mission and becomes a dangerous man.

When Bettina falls in love with an idealistic young renegade, Werner discovers her infidelity and forces her to make a terrible choice: spend her life in prison or leave her home forever. Either way she loses both her lover and child.

Ten years later, Bettina has reinvented herself as a celebrated photographer in Chicago, but she's never stopped yearning for the baby she left behind. Surprised by an unexpected visitor from her past, she resolves to return to her ravaged homeland to reclaim her daughter and uncover her beloved's fate, whatever the cost.

Описание: Eugenie Schumann, youngest daughter of the famed composer Robert Schumann and his wife Clara discusses her memories of her life, and her studies with Johannes Brahms. Drawing upon correspondences between members of the Schumann family, Eugenie relates her memories of childhood and education, and her experiences learning music under the tutorship of Johannes Brahms. The ongoing fame of her mother Clara Schumann meant the family was consistently under the musical spotlight, the public eager for each new performance and composition. Eugenie's recollections of her siblings are poignant: more than once, we hear of the pressure her siblings were under to meet the achievements of their gifted parents. Despite these stresses, Eugenie places emphasis on her mother's caring and compassionate nature ? though the encroaching demands of fame were a fact of the Schumann family life, Clara Schumann is praised for her efforts at keeping the family united.

Описание: Hat Schumanns Liederzyklus in unserer heutigen Musikkultur noch eine Daseinsberechtigung? Sind wir heute, wo sich unser Frauenbild gegen ber dem Biedermeier geradezu umgekehrt hat, nicht dazu angehalten, uns mit demjenigen des 19. Jahrhunderts historisch vertraut zu machen? Nicht das Was, das faktische Geschehen im Lebensbogen von Frauenliebe und -leben, sondern das Wie, die Qualit t pers nlicher Hingabe, ist das psychosensitive Material, welches dem Gedichtzyklus und besonders der Musik Schumanns eine unvergleichliche Sonderstellung einr umt. Neue Forschungsergebnisse werfen ein ganz anderes Licht auf die innere Logik des Liederzyklus. Das Buch legt zudem eine faszinierende Verflechtung von Motivik, Submotivik, Ans tzen von Leitmotivik und einem Spiel mit multiplen Symmetrien offen, welche diese Einheit gew hrleisten. Ist es die gegen ber anderen Liederzyklen unerreichte Pr gnanz einer neunteiligen Liederfolge, oder ist es ihre unverwechselbare emotionale Aura, die den H rer - trotz geistiger Vorbehalte - in den Bann zieht? Die musikalische Analyse gibt ebenso Antworten zu psychologischen Wechselwirkungen wie zu musikalischen Wirkungsweisen und Interpretationsans tzen.

Описание: Drawing on previously unpublished sources, this groundbreaking biography of Robert Schumann sheds new light on the great composer's life and work. With the rigorous research of a scholar and the eloquent prose of a novelist, Judith Chernaik takes us into Schumann's nineteenth-century Romantic milieu, where he wore many "masks" that gave voice to each corner of his soul. The son of a book publisher, he infused his pieces with literary ideas. He was passionately original but worshipped the past: Bach and Beethoven, Shake-speare and Byron. He believed in artistic freedom but struggled with constraints of form. His courtship and marriage to the brilliant pianist Clara Wieck--against her father's wishes--is one of the great musical love stories of all time. Chernaik freshly explores his troubled relations with fellow composers Mendelssohn and Chopin, and the full medi-cal diary--long withheld--from the Endenich asylum where he spent his final years enables her to look anew at the mystery of his early death. By turns tragic and transcendent, Schumann shows how this extraordinary artist turned his tumultuous life into music that speaks directly--and timelessly--to the heart.
