By Ken Zahnle| Tri States Public Radio Verified Augusta Holmès was born in 1847, of Irish parents living in Paris. To English speakers, her name appears as “Augusta Holmes,” but her strong empathy for France led her to spell and pronounce her name with a French accent. Holmès was composing by age 14. By 19 she had discovered the music of operatic radical Richard Wagner, remaining an ardent admirer to the end of her life, despite animosities between France and Germany.

By Ken Zahnle| Tri States Public Radio Verified Clara Wieck seemed destined to be a musician. Her father, Friedrich Wieck, one of the most respected piano teachers in Germany, taught her both piano and the business of being a practicing musician. To capitalize on the early 19th century fascination with child prodigies he arranged for her first solo concert in Leipzig’s Gewandhaus when she was just nine. In 1830, Friedrich’s student Robert Schumann moved into the Wieck household to continue his studies.
