FAME!

A musical-literary salon with works by Emilie Mayer, Fanny Hensel, Clara Schumann and Franz Liszt. Texts by George Sand, Pauline Viardot García and Ivan Turgenev.

Playing the piano is the basic equipment of a daughter from a good family in the 19th century. Emilie Mayer, Clara Schumann, Fanny Hensel break the social rules with their careers. They appear as pianists, give lessons, compose music, perform chamber music, conduct orchestra rehearsals. They decide to have a family or deliberately do not marry. They publish their works under another name or have to keep a low profile in the shadow of their famous male family members. Despite all the circumstances, their works are so great, versatile and interesting! And they stand in the highest place in the history of secular music.
With their work, they have shaped music!
