Symphonies Nos. 2 & 4

Album by Robert Schumann & The Cleveland Orchestra & George Szell

Symphonies Nos. 2 & 4 are orchestral works by German composer Robert Schumann, composed in 1845–46 (No. 2) and in 1841 with a revision in 1851 (No. 4). Both symphonies exemplify Schumann's Romantic orchestral language, with No. 2 presenting expansive melodic writing and rhythmic momentum and the revised No. 4 demonstrating a tighter, more cyclic formal approach that reflects his development as a symphonist.
