Franz Schubert lived at the tail end of the classical era but was also a pioneer of the early romantic era, having composed great works in many genres. Des Teufels Lustschloss is a “magic opera,” Schubert’s first written when he was only 17. A generation later, Robert Schumann was also under Schubert’s spell. Schumann’s only piano concerto contains much fantasy and imagination, with the soloist’s part filled with the exuberance of love. His Symphony No.4, highly popular on the concert stage, took the composer a decade to complete, though early sketches even predate the composer’s Symphony No.1. A truly unique masterpiece that moves the heart and challenges the mind, it is Schumann’s final symphonic output.
