Robert Schumann – Arabeske in C Major Opus 18
This piece was composed in 1839, during a time when Schumann was still struggling to marry the love of his life, Clara Wieck. During this period, they could only communicate through letters, and most of the music he composed during that time was also partially directed towards Clara.
The word Arabesque is used to evoke the intricate designs found in Arabic artworks and tapestries. This work is a decorative-type of piece, full of contrasting moods. There is lightness and dream mood to it.

In the nearly 20 years since our founding, we've grown from offering music lessons at a single site to a network of local community music schools (Decatur, Dunwoody, Inman Park, Little 5 Points and Brookhaven) that offers an array of innovative, but historically-informed music education programs to students of all ages and skill levels.
