First sentence: Clara Josephine Wieck Schumann was not precocious, not as a composer, no Mozart, no Mendelssohn, but no less a prodigy as a performer, certainly more than Schumann, probably more than Brahms, perhaps even Beethoven, played with the big boys on their own turf, the only woman worth mention in the arena, among Kalkbrenner, Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, and Thalberg, inflaming the imaginations of all who heard, a girl to their eyes, a woman to their ears - indeed, a man to their ears.
