Catalogue Note
This is a fine quotation from one of Schumann's greatest works. We have no record of any a quotation from a Schumann symphony being offered at auction for over twenty years.
This is a record of an important concert by Robert and Clara Schumann, given during their very successful tour of Holland in November and December 1853, when Robert conducted the "Rhenish" Symphony. The concert in Utrecht on 26 November also featured the premiere of the Introduction and Allegro for piano and orchestra op.134, played by Clara.
