#SchumanADay - June, 2010

The Schumann A Day theme honored the birthday of Robert Schumann. In addition to listening to one work by Robert Schumann each day, some participants also included music by his wife, Clara Wieck Schumann. There was even a side trip to the music of American composer William Schuman thanks to a typo!

June 6-12, 2010
June 13-19, 2010
