Joseph Joachim To Clara Schumann , [HANOVER, middle of December 1858]- Sometimes, on very rare evenings certainly, performances take place under a peculiarly lucky star ; that happened then. I have never played in Quartettes before the public so unconstrainedly and with such feeling ; I was not in the hall at all, but particularly during Schumann’s Quartette, face to face with the composer, and when we played the Variations I felt that I should like to penetrate to his very heart : the way the rich, lovely theme is woven in and out is so delightful. Those who played with me seemed to be feeling just the same, and it was this feeling that spoke to the heart of the public
