[INTRODUCTION]

"Schumann, who until the end of 1840 had only created works of a smaller size, mainly piano music, initiated the symphonic stvle.(...) About this work we can only remark that it deviated in essential regard from time: the tradition of that The individual movements were not separate entireties, but each of them passes immediately from one to another[.](...) [T]he performance is not substantially different from what became the usual custom in the 20th century, i.e., to play a work of several movements in succession, without any interruption, even when the composer does not explicitly require Schumann, however, makes the movements pass from one to the other, without any break. Being conscious of this innovation he originally wanted to name the work " Symphonic Fantasy". (...)10 years passed before he produced it again, undertaking an alteration in the instrumentation[.](...) Schumann at one time requested me with regard to an intended review, to copy the strings from the original manuscript, in order to enter into the score thus established, the wind parts he wanted to alter ". Besides this he removed the part for the guitar he had used in the first setting of the second movement, recognizing this instrument as an unfit experiment. (...)In this new form Schumann performed the work himself at Dusseldorf on March 3rd, 1853, and repeated it on May 15th at the 31st[.]"
