🎹 Beatrice Rana is with Yannick @NezetSeguin in Berlin for her Berliner Philharmoniker debut on Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto this week!! Toi toi toi!!

In 1883, Clara Schumann performed with Berliner Philharmoniker in their 1st season—sold out concerts (in her 60s!) helping give legitimacy to the young orchestra.

This weekend they play her concerto for the 1st time—thanks to Beatrice Rana Yannick Nézet-Séguin. 🥳🙏🏻

Clara Schumann’s concerto debuts with Berlin Phil this weekend 🎹Beatrice Rana!!!🥳

From the Guardian’s 1896 obit of Clara Schumann, “Clara Wieck, the greatest pianist of her sex the world has ever known…” 😳

How “compliments” to Clara become insults to all other women. 🙄
