Schumann meets Wagner

in 1850 the Schumann family moved to Düsseldorf, where Robert Schumann took up his post as Municipal Music Director with great enthusiasm. This enthusiasm can be heard in his 3rd Symphony, the first great work of his Düsseldorf period. It is said to have been inspired by the sight of Cologne Cathedral, but above all it was a gift for the public: Schumann's first biographer, the violinist and Düsseldorf concertmaster Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski, emphasised the "popular attitude in the good sense, as far as that was at all possible with Schumann" of the five-movement work. The premiere was a success, Schumann was celebrated as he had not been for a long time. The fact that Düsseldorf's happiness was soon clouded afterwards: that's another story.
