Robert Schumann (1810-1856)
On the 31st of March, 1841, the symphony was introduced to the music world as part of a Gewandhaus concert under the direction of Felix Mendelssohn. Schumann wrote “In the last few days I´ve completed a work (at least in outline) with which I´m totally at peace but which has also totally exhausted me. Just think a complete symphony – and for good measure a spring symphony – I can hardly believe it myself that it´s finished…” And this “Spring” symphony was not just the start of a new phase in the composer´s life but also a second spring for the genre symphony. The title used by Schumann naturally brings to mind programme music par excellence.
