    Score video of Schumann's "spring" symphony. Although he had made some "symphonic attempts" in the autumn of 1840 soon after he married Clara Wieck, he did not compose his first symphony until early 1841. Until then, Schumann was largely known for his works for the piano and for voice. Clara encouraged him to write symphonic music, noting in her diary, "it would be best if he composed for orchestra; his imagination cannot find sufficient scope on the piano... His compositions are all orchestral in feeling... My highest wish is that he should compose for orchestra-that is his field! May I succeed in bringing him to it!"
    Schumann sketched the symphony in four days from 23 to 26 January and completed the orchestration by 20 February. The premiere took place under the baton of Felix Mendelssohn on 31 March 1841 in Leipzig, where the symphony was warmly received. According to Clara's diary, the title "Spring Symphony" was bestowed upon it due to Adolf Böttger's poem Frühlingsgedicht. The symphony's opening has traditionally been associated with the closing lines of Böttger's poem, "O wende, wende deinen Lauf/Im Thale blüht der Frühling auf!" (“O, turn, O turn and change your course/In the valley, Spring blooms forth!"). This view has been challenged, and the call of a Leipzig nightwatchman has been mentioned as an alternative source.

    Just got to listen to this post, in 2023, and the interpratation of J.E.Gardner just blew me away. Probably the first time I understood this Symphony and the young, just married, Robert Schumann....It feels like a Vivaldi Spring in the romantic period.

      @Teemu H. Indeed. Schumann also pushed the boundaries of the orchestra (at the time) with this work. Think of the triangle part in the first movement, the use of 3 timpani, and the soft trombone chorale at the end of the 2nd movement. Written in 1841! Schumann (and Brahms too) had a wonderful ear for the orchestral colour he wanted.

    • @Musicrafter12
      @Musicrafter12 Před 3 lety +14

      @Teemu H. Brahms' orchestration is very technically adept, but lacks imagination in my opinion. His textures are very stocky and "utilitarian", I would say, and are utterly unremarkable. Schumann is for sure much more imaginative, even if his handling of the orchestra is sometimes a bit clumsy and heavy-handed.

      @ruramikael Před rokem

      @@Musicrafter12 Some really thick textures in Brahms' symphonies, often woodwinds in thirds in four different octaves. But Schumann had some assistance from Mendelssohn in this symphony, this one has a much more differentiated orchestration than the third, which might be the most problematic one.
