RENO CHAMBER ORCHESTRA 11 PROGRAM NOTES BY CHRIS MORRISON his right hand, so he focused on composing and writing. His music was often written in feverish bursts of activity—1840, for instance, saw the creation of over 140 songs, and 1842 was a year of chamber music. While he composed in larger forms such as opera, symphony, and concerto, many feel that Schumann’s true genius came to the fore in his songs and piano miniatures. As a critic he co-founded the influential Neue Zeitschrift für Musik and wrote articles praising composers like Chopin and Brahms. Having long suffered from mental problems, in 1854 Schumann tried to drown himself in the Rhine, and he spent his final years in an asylum. Overture, Scherzo and Finale in E major, Op. 52 Composed: 1841 Duration: 18 minutes Instrumentation: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, strings 840 was Schumann’s “year of song,” as 1he produced around 140 lieder in that one year alone. In September of that same year, after a long courtship and a legal battle SCHUMANN with her father, Schumann finally married Clara Wieck. Now settled and happy, Schumann turned to orchestral music in ROBERT SCHUMANN 1841, completing his Symphonies Nos. 1 Born: June 8, 1810, Zwickau, Germany and 4 along with the Overture, Scherzo Died: July 29, 1856, Endenich, Germany and Finale. Schumann wrote the latter quickly, completing it in just three weeks. chumann was one of the quintessential But he was uncertain as to what exactly the Sartists of music’s Romantic era.
