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

#RobertSchumann was a #composer and conductor of the #RomanticEra. 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 #folkmusic. 

The "Rheinisch” (or #Rhenish) #Symphony is still an important and well-loved piece of classical music because it expresses emotion, employs inventive musical language, and employs novel ways of arranging #music.
