The great music couple, Clara and Robert Schumann, called Leipzig home from 1840-1844. In 1842, Robert Schumann devoted his compositional energies to his so called “Year of Chamber Music”, which produced among other great works, his piano quintet. Clara met Robert in Leipzig and Clara composed her 3 Romances in 1853, dedicating them to the great violinist, Joseph Joachim. English composer Dame Ethel Smyth studied in Leipzig several decades later and composed her magnificent string trio while in this cultural hub.
