Schumann’s Symphony No. 2

Take a spin through some of the most popular romantic symphonies, and find out something new about these well-loved classics at American Symphony Orchestra’s hit series Classics Declassified: The Romantic Symphonies. Music director Leon Botstein and the orchestra lead you through a discussion and demonstration, then perform the work in full and take your questions in a Q&A.

Of all of Schumann’s symphonies, the second is the most indebted to the spirit of J.S. Bach, but at the same time it is among Schumann’s most original and inventive. Leon Botstein and the orchestra will point out some of its ciphers and quotations in a spirited discussion, and then after intermission perform the work in full. After you’ve listened, ask your questions in a Q&A.
