At nineteen years, Johannes Brahms was a beautiful youth with delicate hands and slender fingers that belied their strength, a clear tenor singing voice, a smooth, beardless face and a slight build. Women swooned over his rich and beautiful head of golden blond hair that flowed down to his shoulders and framed his pale blue eyes, giving him an aura of innocence. Although he was not a tall boy, he stood straight and upright, and looked people in the eye when he talked, giving him an air of authority.Clara Schumann's hazel eyes shined brightly in direct opposition to the dark circles below them. Her wide mouth radiated an air of sensuality and her high cheekbones gave her confidence and competence Brahms had never seen in a woman before, and yet he was reminded of his mother, a younger version, as he remembered her from his youth. It seemed clear somehow that this woman had borne children, although he could not say why he thought that. Perhaps a fullness of the hips or her supreme confidence. At the same time, because of her directness, she reminded him of the women he had known by the docks of Hamburg.

Three Movements for Six Hands, by Terry Row

Review I was completely caught up in this powerful, deeply emotional and heartbreaking story so much so that I often could not put it down. The characters leap off the page; the music sweeps and curls and tiptoes through the story, carrying plot and pacing with it at a compelling tempo. I came to know the Schumann house and its inhabitants intimately, and to care for them as real, breathing people. Row has done a wonderful job of capturing their human frailties, along with their talents and virtues, so they are fascinating, each in his or her own way. Row s novel not only sings; it shines like polished gold. --Kathryn Lynn Davis, New York Times bestselling author of Too Deep For Tears and Sing to Me of Dreams

A Nice Try Gone Wrong By R. james Tobin As an historical novel, this is fiction but, importantly, it is about real, prominent, and much beloved musicians.The seeds of Terry Row’s inspiration—or rather speculation--come from curiosity he shares with many about each of his three characters. Why did Robert Schumann hurl, not only himself, but also his wedding ring, into the Rhine? Did his beloved wife Clara—after she and he experienced one of the great romantic love stories of the century, fulfilled with many children—not only develop a strong friendship with the young Johannes Brahms but perhaps consummate that attachment with physical intimacy?Row’s book derives from these questions. He answers the last question in the affirmative, with fabricated details that, given those involved, especially Clara, are shocking even in the twenty-first century, in one scene particularly. The historical Brahms and Clara Schuman were very discreet—at the very least—about their relationship and Row imaginatively and dreadfully violates their privacy. There never, ever, would have been any documentation of such a scene as he presents it. Yes, this is fiction, but sometimes fiction on the level of a bodice-ripper.Aside from lurid details, Row strains credulity with respect to both the timing and manner he gives to such an intimate affair. Implausibly, and I find offensively, he has the thirty-four year old Clara dreaming and lusting after the twenty year old Brahms, and then seducing him, before Brahms had ever visited the Schumann household and met Robert Schumann, who would extoll Brahms’ music in print.This is not to say that Clara and Johannes may never have had a brief physical affair, and possibly even jointly parented Clara’s last son, Felix, born ten months after Robert was away forever. But surely Row could have done much better than this in imagining how it might have occurred.In his credit, Row does present a more plausible answer to my first question above. His narrative has Schumann discovering a packet of love letters shortly before his attempted suicide. If that actually happened, it might account for both the attempted suicide and the fact that Schumann evidently did not want to see his wife again after he was taken away.Something else in Row’s book is somewhat bothersome, however, and that is the (italicized) reveries of Schumann while in the asylum, in which he familiarly addresses the mistress from his early youth--before he and Clara fell in love. A recent biographer identifies the mistress by name--so she was real--and she evidently had given Schumann the syphilis which may ultimately have been the cause of his death. Schumann could well have had obsessive feelings of guilt over that early affair and its consequences, but the delusions Schumann experienced as his rationality became obscured were not of that person but rather of vague demons.All in all, a disappointing book.
