Schumann was kicked out of his home by Vic and returned to his home. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He hasn't lived in his own home for years. After his father's death, his dear sister and brother also committed suicide, so his mother was the only one at home. My mother lived very lonely, and the family was already poor. This made him feel very bad, especially not seeing Clara anymore, which made him always feel an inexplicable anxiety and melancholy, and he was always thinking about Clara.

However, the two hearts that love each other do not separate because of this, but the separation brings the two hearts closer together. They can meet through musicians' gatherings and performances. Soon, in the Leipzig music scene, people knew about their love relationship and were very happy to see their two musical talents combined. Therefore, the love affair between Schumann and Clara began to spread in the music industry at that time.

Vic soon heard that his daughter Clara and Schumann continued to be in love, and he locked her in the house and prevented him from coming out. However, his daughter was strong and unyielding, and fought against him on a hunger strike, insisting on falling in love with Schumann. He was very angry at his daughter's attachment, but he couldn't help it. So, he decided to go to Schumann and ask him to stop pursuing and seducing Clara, otherwise, he would be unkind to him.

That day, he brought a pistol to Schumann's house. At the time, Schumann was composing a piano piece and was going to dedicate it to his beloved Clara. However, when he looked up, he saw Vic standing in front of him. He knew what he was here for, so he said to Vic bluntly, "What do you want to say?"

"Please have self-esteem, leave Clara, don't seduce her and disturb her, and let her grow into a famous pianist in peace." ”

Schumann said, "I didn't seduce her and bother her, we were together in love with each other." Moreover, our love for each other will only help her become a famous pianist, not stop her. ”

Vic said fiercely, "What will happen to Clara must be arranged by me." Because she is my daughter. You have to give up your weird thoughts. ”

Schumann said, "I don't have any strange thoughts at all. I love her because she deserves my love, and she loves me. The law allows us to love one another. You don't have the power to stop us. ”

Annoyed and manic, Vic suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and said to Schumann, "You don't give me nonsense, I will never allow you to fall in love with my daughter, if you dare to seduce my daughter again, I will end your life with this pistol." ”

Schumann saw that Vic's eyes were red, like an executioner on the execution ground. He knew that such a person could do anything. Because he knew that this teacher of his had always regarded his precious daughter as his pride, his glory and hope. Now that Vic can threaten him with a pistol, you can imagine how angry he is with him.

Seeing that Schumann did not speak again, Vic pointed his pistol at him and said, "Remember, don't try to seduce and disturb Clara again." She is still very young, and she still has a lot of work to do. With that, Vic left in a rage.

After that, Vic did not stop there, he knew that his daughter had fallen in love with Schumann, although he did a lot of work for Clara, and used a lot of hard and soft methods, but his daughter did not give in, and even went on a hunger strike to fight him. Moreover, he also intimidated and threatened Schumann, however, Schumann did not make any guarantees and promises to him. So, he felt that he didn't seem to have a good way to break them apart, and he was already a little helpless about them.

However, he was not reconciled, he had to break them up, otherwise, his precious daughter would not know what suffering and what sins he would suffer in the future. In the end, he decided to take his daughter out of Leipzig and live somewhere else for a while, and as long as they were separated for a while and the two did not see each other, they would naturally separate.

On that day, Vic said to Clara, "My beloved Clara, you are my hope and future, and I want to train you to be the most famous pianist in all of Europe." So, you have to listen to me, practice intently, don't get distracted, and don't fall in love. Otherwise, you'll lose all your efforts. After saying that, he asked her to prepare immediately, bring a small amount of necessary items, and go on tour in other places.

She suddenly had to leave Leipzig, she didn't know where she was going, and her father had been watching her prepare and pack her belongings, so she couldn't write a letter to Schumann if she wanted to. She knew that Schumann was very depressed because of so many things at home and because of a broken finger, and she was very worried about him, but she had no way to say goodbye to him.

She packed up her belongings and brought some of Schumann's works with her, thinking that if she missed him, she could play his works, which would make her miss a little lighter. However, when her father was examining her belongings, he took all the works of Schumann out of his travel bag, threw them in the corner, and said to her in a very stern tone, "You are not allowed to play his works from now on." Then he took her travel bag in one hand and pulled her into the carriage downstairs where they were waiting. In this way, Clara was forced to leave Leipzig with her father.

In fact, the city they arrived in was called Dresden, which is adjacent to Leipzig, and the two cities were about the same size. It's just that people here obviously don't have the same love and preference for music as Leipzig. Almost everyone in Leipzig plays the violin or the piano, and you can always hear the sound of the piano when you walk down the street and in front of people's homes. In Dresden, however, the mood for music is clearly far from the same.

His father, Vic, rented a three-bedroom room on the streets of the city, rented a piano and hired a maid. Away from home, there was no acquaintance in the area, and there was no place she liked to visit, so Clara stayed in the house all day and practiced non-stop. My father only had a few friends here, so he spent most of his day teaching her to practice.

That afternoon, her father brought her many pieces and asked her to practice them one by one, saying that they were all works that she was going to play at the recital. There are works by Bach, Liszt, Beethoven and Schubert, but there is no Schumann. And what she wanted to play most was Schumann's work. Because her father was going to give her a piano recital in the local area. Therefore, she is very busy every day, and she has to play these pieces over and over again, and she has almost no free time.

Vic is a man who values music more than anything else, and sees work as important as life. He sat next to his daughter, listening carefully to every note. Even if Clara made the slightest mistake, he would ask her to stop and play the wrong place several times again until she was playing it accurately.

During this time, she barely had a word about Schumann. But she was sure that Schumann would make a good composer and music critic, because she felt that he had the talent and talent to do so.

One day, she saw a music magazine in a bookstore with a music review written by Schumann about her. She is called the most gifted female pianist in Germany. It made her very happy. The reason she was happy was not because she saw people complimenting her, but because Schumann had become a well-known music critic. She was so happy and proud of him. However, because her father did not allow her to read anything related to Schumann, she hid the magazine under her pillow. And, every night, she had to read the magazine again.
