"Pianiste prodige, compositrice de talent, pédagogue sévère, amoureuse passionnée, muse dévouée, mère de famille tourmentée... Clara Schumann fut tout cela,…
et bien plus encore. De son enfance éblouissante, saluée aussi bien par Goethe que par Paganini, jusqu'à la gloire de son grand âge, célébrée à travers toute l'Europe et par ses têtes couronnées, l'existence de Clara fut dédiée à son métier de musicienne. [...] La vie de Clara fut aussi habitée par la passion d'un homme, Robert Schumann, un des grands génies du romantisme musical, qui la troubla dès l'enfance mais qu'elle ne put épouser qu'après avoir traîné son père devant les tribunaux. Un homme qui lui donna huit enfants et dont elle pleura la disparition pendant quarante ans. Mais dans ce tableau idyllique, que vint faire le jeune homme blond, qui débarqua un matin à Düsseldorf, quelques mois avant la tentative de suicide de Schumann ? Quels furent les liens qui lièrent ce fameux Johannes Brahms et Clara, alors que son mari sombrait dans la folie ? Et combien de secrets de famille ont accompagné ces deux noms, dissimulés par une postérité qui n'a pu altérer la pureté de Clara ? [...]" -- 4e de couv

As a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great-grandmother's Cherokee stories and heard the…
whistle of the train that took his people to the North people who wanted to be free. When Romare and his family, faced with Jim Crow laws, boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By. Using that painting as inspiration and creating a text influenced by the blues and jazz that Bearden loved, Jeanne Walker Harvey tells the story of Bearden's children by describing the patchwork of daily southern life that Romare saw out the train's window and the story of his arrival in shimmering New York City. Artists and critics today praise Bearden's collages for their visual metaphors honoring his past, African American culture, and the human experience. 2011. For grades K-3
