Best Romantic composers<\/h2>\n
1 Clara Schumann<\/h3>\n
Clara Schumann<\/a> was a gifted composer at a time where the profession was highly male-dominated. Her career began as a child prodigy pianist, taught by her father Friedrich Wieck who\u00a0insisted on spending time teaching her harmony and counterpoint so she could go on to perform her own works.<\/p>\n
Her talent earnt her a prestigious place at the Society of the Friends of Music in Vienna. Undoubtedly her marriage to Robert Schumann<\/a> influenced her music. The couple were known for sharing musical ideas with each other, and their close friend Johannes Brahms<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Best works:<\/h3>\n
Three Romances for Violin and Piano,\u00a01853<\/strong>\nA display of sophisticated lyrical lines and daring complexity.<\/p>\n\n<ul><li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/article\/five-best-clara-schumann-recordings"\"><strong>Five of the best Clara Schumann recordings<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><p><strong><a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/article\/greatest-piano-concertos-all-time"\">Piano Concerto<\/a>,\u00a01836<\/strong><br\/>\nThis concerto was written when she was only 16.

Franz Schubert<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/topic\/franz-schubert"\">Schubert<\/a> wrote over 600 songs in total, and was at the forefront of the Romantic Lieder tradition. He is also known for his thrilling orchestral and chamber works.\u00a0<a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/topic\/franz-schubert"\">Schubert<\/a>\u00a0had a gift for shaping a melody and creating beautiful themes.<\/p>\n<h3>Best works:<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/article\/best-recordings-schuberts-unfinished-symphony"\">Symphony No. 8 \u2018Unfinished\u2019,\u00a0<\/a><a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/article\/best-recordings-schuberts-unfinished-symphony"\">1822<\/a>:<\/strong><br\/>\nThe first phrase comes from the cellos and basses playing low in register and pianissimo.

He worked according to his theory that music, poetry and drama are inseparable. He used <strong><a href=\""https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/articles\/what-is-a-leitmotif\/"\">Leitmotifs<\/a><\/strong> throughout his music.
