1853, Dusseldorf, Germany. A young Johannes Brahms steps into the orbit of musical giants composer Robert Schumann and his wife, pianist and composer Clara Schumann. Brahms plays for the Schumanns and Robert declares him “a genius, the new Beethoven.” One year later, Robert Schumann descends into madness and commits himself to an asylum. The young lionlike Brahms remains by Clara’s side to help her and the Schumanns’ seven children and falls deeply in love, yet Clara remains eternally devoted to her husband. What happens between them all is a romantic story for the ages written in sound. With Hershey Felder as Johannes Brahms, Sally George as Clara Schumann, and Jonathan Silverstri (Rachmaninoff and the Tsar), as Robert Schumann, Love Notes features a story of passion, longing, and love that led to some of the most beautiful music ever composed.
