They say three’s a crowd, but not when music is your love language—just ask husband and wife composing team Robert and Clara Schumann!

Robert and Clara Schumann’s passionate marriage is at the center of the Romantic movement in music. Robert’s Five Pieces in Folk Style, for cello and piano, are as free and imaginative as his incomparable art songs. Likewise, Clara’s Three Romances are full of tenderness and rich melodic invention. The Schumanns would have delighted in the Iberian sounds with which Joaquín Turina infuses his Piano Trio No. 2, as they would have likewise enjoyed the company of the 25th piano trio of Joseph Haydn, whose music is always a balm for the soul.
