Description
Schumann wrote his Third Symphony within a few weeks in late 1850. It was premiered in Düsseldorf on 6 February 1851 under the direction of the composer. The nickname"Rhenish Symphony" seems to go back to Wilhelm Josef von Wasielewski, who published a biography of Schumann in 1858. This edition is based on the first edition.
