Dr. Ingrid Bodsch, head of the Schumann Network, introduces Els Biesemans' fortepiano recital. She tells the story of Delphine von Schauroth (1813–1887), a virtuoso pianist and composer who maintained a 50-year career despite three marriages and long breaks. Her contemporaries included Clara Schumann, Franz Liszt and Felix Mendelssohn. Only her «Songs without Words» were published during her lifetime, enthusiastically reviewed by Robert Schumann, yet she later fell into obscurity.
