Whose works were encouraged and featured by the famous pianist who was married to composer Robert Schumann?
Master Raro Master Raro was a notable character that appeared in many of Robert Schumann's character pieces for solo piano. Raro may represent the union of (Clara + Robert). He was the personality that balanced the two contrasting natures of Eusebius (passive, dreamy) and Florestan (aggressive, enthusiastic). Master Raro was also the primary arbiter of the many pseudonyms under which Robert Schumann took guise in his critical writings within "Neue Zeitschrift für Musik", the journal through which he evaluated the music world. Raro appears to bring logic and reason into a complex mixture of views of the Davidsbündler. He reflects Schumann's writing mastery and musical genius.
Gustav Mahler Gustav Mahler (] ; 7 July 1860, Kaliště, Bohemia, now Czech Republic – 18 May 1911, Vienna, Austria-Hungary) was an Austrian late-Romantic composer, and one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer he acted as a bridge between the 19th century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. While in his lifetime his status as a conductor was established beyond question, his own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 his compositions were rediscovered and championed by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century.
