A concert as an essay on love as a creative stimulus Introduction: Musical Sunday on Sunday, 10 March, 11:00 at the DAI Heidelberg and on gifts in the form of music: Robert Schumann, his student Albrecht Dietrich, and the 20-year-old Johannes Brahms composed a sonata together in 1853 for the violinist Joseph Joachim, who was soon to play an immensely important role not only for Brahms's creative work, but for the art of violin playing as a whole. "Free but lonely", the friend's half-joking motto for life, was translated by the three composers into the notes "f", "a" and "e"-which are woven into the sonata as a kind of sounding inscription. Ten years earlier, Schumann's first published chamber music work, the Piano Quintet, was launched with Clara at the piano in the Leipzig Gewandhaus and founded this genre, which later became a model for Brahms, Franck and others.
