In 1878, Schumann was appointed the first piano teacher of the new [[Hoch Conservatory|Dr. Hoch's Konservatorium]] in Frankfurt.{{sfn|Riebsamen|2019}}{{sfn|Negwer|2002}} She had chosen Frankfurt among offers from Stuttgart, Hannover, and Berlin, because the director, [[Joachim Raff]], had accepted her conditions: she could not teach more than 1-1/2 hours per day, was free to teach at her home, and had four months of vacation and time off for short tours in winter. She demanded two assistants, with her daughters Marie and Eugenie in mind.{{sfn|Klassen|2011}}{{sfn|Riebsamen|2019}}{{sfn|Allihn|2019}}
