Janice Galloway has written a novel called “Clara.” It tells the life story of Clara Schumann, the gifted pianist who was the wife of composer Robert Schumann.  Galloway tells Jim Fleming that Clara was totally dominated by her father who was loathe to lose the income she provided. He finally allowed her to marry, but between nursing her husband’s mental illness and bearing him eight children, Clara had precious little time to develop her musical ability.
