After getting over the fact that they aren't being basic by talking about composers you ✨might✨ know so well, this week, Ellie and Ben are talking about the life and legacy of Clara Schumann! 🤩

Child prodigy, virtuoso pianist and a composer chronically overshadowed by her brother (and her romantic life), Clara Schumann was an absolute force in the 19th century music scene – oh, and she did it while raising EIGHT KIDS 👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶

We unpack her gender, her genius, and whether or not she belongs in our brand spanking new canon 🎶

Want to hear her music? Obvs:
