| Description: The Fourth Symphony is a lyric poem for orchestra, more poetic in content than Schumann's prior symphonies. The theme of the introduction to the Finale asserts itself in a passage of surprising grandeur. Schumann's versatility and agile romantic lyrical themes in the strings and woodwinds are contrasted by powerfully majestic themes for full orchestra. The movement is deeply poetic, expressing varying moods: tenderness, passion, intensity, and drama. |
