545: "Schumann - Symphony No. 3 - Rheinisch"

Interesting Things with JC #545: "Schumann: Symphony No. 3 - Rheinisch" premiered Feb 1851 in Düsseldorf, a significant & beloved work in classical music.

Robert Schumann was a composer and conductor of the Romantic era. His "Rhenish" Symphony, also known as Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, was a masterpiece that demonstrated how he experimented with orchestration and musical language. Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony was premiered in Düsseldorf in February 1851.

This was a big deal in the music world at the time, and it cemented Schumann's reputation as one of the best composers of his generation. While traveling through Germany's Rhineland, Schumann had inspiration for the symphony. It wasn't your typical classical symphony, and it included local folk music.
