Title NameSymphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 120 (original version 1841)
Marketing CopyRobert Schumann (1810-1856) wrote the original version of his Symphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 120, in 1841. Significant revisions were made by Schumann in 1851, and it is this version that was published in 1853. Where the original 1841 version is considered much lighter in texture, the 1851 revision is heavier and statelier. Clara Schumann, preferring the revised version of her husband's work, strenuously objected to the family friend Johannes Brahms' insistence that the original version, which he much preferred, also be published. Brahms did succeed in seeing the original version published in 1891. The symphony is considered a masterpiece, regardless of which version is performed, and remains a regular part of the orchestra repertoire. The original version premiered on December 12, 1841, by the Gewandhausorchester in Leipzig, Ferdinand David conducting. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
