Notes: Dates of composition are drawn from:

New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. S.v. "Schumann, Clara,"
by Pamela Süsskind.
Reich, Nancy B. Clara Schumann: The Artist and the Woman. Ithaca:
Cornell University Press, 1985.
Schumann, Clara. Sämtliche Lieder für Singstime und Klavier:
Complete Songs for Voice and Piano. Ed. by Joachim Draheim and
Brigitte Höft. 2 vols. Wiesbaden: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1990.
When a citation is unique to a single source, it is marked by PS (Groves article), NR (Reich book), or DH (Draheim and Höft preface). The chronology is based on the earliest cited date. There is no explanation
known for the absence of Op. 18 and 19. To go back to top.

** Note the proliferation of June 8 citations for various years; being Robert's birthday, Clara presented
many works to him on this date. Obviously, many of these were composed prior to this date. In any case,
June tends to be a very fertile month for composing, as with 1853. To go back to June.
