No. 4 is based on the first draft of 1841. In the second movement of the first draft, Schumann originally intended to introduce the guitar as an accompanying instrument (although he soon abandoned the idea). Some of the tempo indications are clearly different from the revised version generally performed today, and it may be one of the pleasures of listening to the music while appreciating such differences. The G minor symphony, which also bears the name of Schumann's birthplace, Zwickau, was written in 1832, when Schumann was in his early 20s. He stopped studying law and devoted himself to music, aspiring to become a virtuoso pianist, but gave up due to a broken hand. He studied the works of Bach, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, and began composing on the piano.Schumann's talent was recognized here and there, but it was still inadequate, and perhaps Schumann himself was aware of this, and although the symphony was performed several times in Zwickau in 1833, it was ultimately unfinished. This performance is a breath of fresh air from the young Schumann. The program also includes an interesting orchestral arrangement of Schumann's only organ work, \"Six Fugues on Bach's Name. The arranger is Henk de Freiherr. A percussionist, de Freiherr also made a splash with his orchestral arrangement of Wagner's Ring for orchestra, \"Orchestral Adventure. It will be interesting to see how he cooked up Schumann's Double Fugue.
