 Obscure Schumann

I was wondering if anyone's ever played Robert Schumann's "Zwickau Symphony" ... have been listening to it a lot lately and wondering why it's never played. I've probably spelled the name wrong.

Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

Keen ears you got there.

I think you'll be pleased to know that you did not, in fact, spell the name incorrectly.

The Zwickau Symphony in G minor actually predates the rest of Schumann's other symphonies, having been left incomplete in 1832.

I actually did have the chance to conduct this with the local orchestra at one point. It's a charming piece, really. A glimpse into the beginnings of Schumann's shy world of symphonies.

Do take a look at the clarinet parts to these. They're bundles of fun to play.

Lencho - I agree with you - it's a delight, such a shame it wasn't finished.
