| One of my favorite songs | Schumann: Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61
Schumann was not only a composer but also a critic. He is famous for saying, "Gentlemen, this is a genius! Take off your hats!" after listening to Brahms's work. Schumann's appeal lies above all in the composer's changing state of mind, or rather, in the sense of imbalance. Symphony No. 2 is not performed as often as Symphony Nos. 3 and 4, but it is the most Schumann-like piece. |
