The queen of piano playing of her time and the fourteen years younger composer are musical companions. The friendship between Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms deepens when Clara moves to Baden-Baden in 1863. Here, she finds an atmosphere of blending cultural currents, shaped by the musical polymath Pauline Viardot and her circle. Brahms becomes a regular summer guest in Clara's home, where his most important works are created in the spa town. The genius loci also inspires colleagues like Joseph Joachim and Theodor Kirchner, with whom Clara is closely connected. Above all, the timeless compositions of these artists linger. "I think of you all day long [...] lying under the fir trees and hope that Baden is still dear to you.".
