listen: 'Still Reflection on a Theme by Clara Schumann' (Mary Dullea, pno)

Just a few days after the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann’s birth, listen to Still Reflection on a Theme by Clara Schumann, played by Mary Dullea in March 2019.

In March 2019, The South Tipperary Arts Centre marked International Women’s Day with the Finding a Voice concert series – a celebration of women composers. The series also marked the 200th anniversary of Clara Schumann, and featured a series of specially commissioned works, ‘reflections’ on a theme by Schumann from the Scherzo of her Piano Trio in G Minor Op. 17.

Still Reflection focusses in on a few tiny gestures of the Clara Schumann theme, expanding and re-combining them to create a slow, open 'still life’ of the original.
