Das 3. Schumann-Symposion 1988 wurde aus doppeltem Anlass unter das Thema 'Robert Schumann in Dusseldorf' gestellt. Die 700-Jahr-Feier der Stadtwerdung Dusseldorfs gab Anlass, Leben und Wirken des bedeutendsten Komponisten, der in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts hier wohnte und wirkte, zu gedenken. Das Vorhaben der Schumann-Forschungsstelle , den Beginn der Gesamtausgabe mit den vernachlassigten spaten Werken zu beginnen, war zugleich auch Richtschnur fur das 3. Robert-Schumann-Fest in seiner Programmgestaltung. Das Symposion, die Arbeit an der Gesamtausgabe und das Fest waren so eng aufeinander bezogen. Die Ausstellung 'Schumann und die Dusseldorfer Malerschule' im Foyer des Tagungsortes dokumentierte bildhaft erganzend die soziale und kunstlerische Einbettung von Clara und Robert Schumann in die Dusseldorfer Gesellschaft. Zunachst erwies sich, dass durchaus trotz eines so geringen Zeitabstandes von nur drei Jahren zum vorhergehenden Schumann-Symposion wirklich neue Ergebnisse in der Schumann-Forschung vorgelegt werden konnten. Dazu bei trugen die wichtigen Quellen der Tagebucher und Haushaltsbucher, die Gerd Nauhaus 1982 und 1987 veroffentlicht hatte. Seine Anwesenheit gab Gelegenheit, die besondere Rolle des Schumann-Hauses in Zwickau fur alle Forschungsbemuhungen hervorzuheben. In den drei Vortragen und zwolf Referaten kamen zwar die beiden Schwerpunkte: Schumanns Lebens- und Wirkungsverhaltnisse in Dusseldorf, seine Begegnung mit einer besonderen rheinischen Kunstszene sowie das Spatwerk in seinem grossen Umfang voll zur Sprache, jedoch stellte sich bald heraus, dass das Verstandnis der Zeit und der Werke nur auf dem Hintergrund seiner fruheren Jahrzehnte zu begreifen und zu interpretieren ist. Mannigfache Faden verbinden Schumann mit seinen fruheren Wirkungsstatten und seinen jeweils spezifischen Schaffensprinzipien der einzelnen Gattungen.Obwohl die Generalthematik so auf eine bestimmte Zeitphase zugespitzt war, ergaben die Beitrage und Diskussionen bald, dass uber sich vernetzende Bezuge letztlich ganz allgemeine Dimensionen von Schumanns schopferischer Personlichkeit auch sein Spatwerk durchdringen und die forschenden Fragestellungen bestimmten. Naturlich behielten die Musik und ihre quellenmassige Uberlieferung ebenso wie Fragen der Auffuhrungsweise und der Rezeption ihren Stellenwert, jedoch weitete sich manche Analyse des Details aus zu den Grundfragen von Genie und Krankheit, neben dem Verhaltnis von Musik und Literatur trat jetzt verstarkt das Verhaltnis von Musik und Malerei in den Vordergrund, aber mit der nachrevolutionaren Zeit und dem Ortswechsel auch das Verhaltnis von Musik und Offentlichkeit, ja Musik und Politik. Wieder einmal zeigte sich gerade bei Schumann die romantische Einheit von Kunstler und Werk mit den geistigen und geschichtlichen Stromungen und Ereignissen seiner Welt.

Dieser Band enthalt die (zum Teil erheblich erweiterten) Referate, die aus Anlass des Internationalen Gustav-Mahler-Symposiums in Dusseldorf gehalten wurden. Neben die Ergrundung der musikalischen Werke Mahlers (und ihrer oft verschlungenen Entstehunsgeschichte) tritt hier reprasentativ die der Arbeit des Dirigenten Mahler, seine Tatigkeit als Bearbeiter klassischer Werke. Diese Bearbeitungen - Retouchen sagte man damals - dienten stets der Interpretation: der Verdeutlichung des musikalischen Inhalts, wie Mahler ihn erkannte. Dem selben Ziel galten auch die standigen Anderungen der Instrumentation eigener Werke.Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Mahlerforschung ist die Aufarbeitung der Geschichte der Rezeption der Werke, ihrer Wirkung und ihr sich wandelndes Verstandnis. Besonders gewichtig erscheinen die Bemuhungen um die Begrundung einer verlasslichen Interpretationsanalyse als der Voraussetzung einer angemessenen Erkenntnis der wahren Mahler-Tradition.

Robert Schumann's Violoncello Concerto op. 129 can be regarded as the first great concerto for this instrument's repertoire. It is thus somewhat surprising that this work had an extremely problematic reception history at the outset.Schumann wrote the score in 1850, during his Dusseldorf years, but there was neither a concrete occasion nor a soloist for a world premiere. After its publication, more years elapsed before the world premiere. It was only towards the end of the 19th century that Schumann's Cello Concerto finally made its breakthrough as a repertoire piece. The Urtext edition is based on the original print of the parts and the piano reduction, which had still been supervised by Schumann. In addition, the autograph of the score was consulted for purposes of comparison. The internationally renowned soloist Heinrich Schiff took part in the preparation of the edition for violoncello and piano. His experiences have been incorporated into his arrangement of the solo part. With his comments, Schiff also provides valuable tips on the interpretation of the work.

The Fairy-Tale Narratives (Märchenerzählungen) for B-flat Clarinet (ad libitum Violin), Viola and Piano, Op. 132, belong to the few Schumann works that were composed, revised and published in a short time: composed in Düsseldorf, at beginning of October 1853, the new composition was already offered for publication to the Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house on 3 November and printed in February1854. Composition and publication of the Märchenerzählungen were accompanied, though, by difficult times, the final days before the composer was admitted to the psychiatric clinic in Endenich. The work's reception lies in the shadow of the last creative period: The pieces were associated with his life's darker phases and were very little played. The Märchenerzählungen transmit Schumann's single work for this unusual piano trio with viola and clarinet. The only well-known earlier example in this setting at that time is Mozart's “Kegelstatt” Trio K 498 (composed in 1786). Schumann was certainly already acquainted with the work from his Leipzig years - it was played in one of the “quartet sessions” in 1829. This edition is based on a new edition of all Schumann works, Volume II / 3.

Interesting ly, Schumann?s Third Symphony was in fact his last symphony, as the fourth symphony was actually composed after the first. The Symphony No.3 in E flat Op.97 was written 1850 during the composer?s tenure as conductor at Dusseldorf on the famous river Rhine. Schumann claimed that the history and spirit surrounding the noble river inspired him when writing the symphony, hence it being called the ?Rhenish? symphony. The symphony was less successful at its premiere in February 1851 (conducted by Schumann himself) than his previous two symphonic premiers had been.This symphony is in five movements, with the ?extra? fourth movement, originally subtitled ?In the style of an accompaniment to a solemn ceremony?, was inspired by a visit to Cologne Cathedral.Available here is a study score of Schumann?s Symphony No.3 in E flat ?Rhenish? Op.97 , which is ideal for study and perusal usage..

Piano vocal score by the composer

In late March 1851, Robert Schumann was sent a copy of the fairy tale Der Rose Pilgerfahrt. He was so inspired by Moritz Horn's text that he immediately composed the piano score.

Simultaneou sly, he corresponded with the poet about cuts and revisions of the libretto, and, towards the end of the year, even let himself be persuaded by friends to orchestrate it. Der Rose Pilgerfahrt was given its first performances in Dusseldorf and Leipzig in February and March 1852 in this full-scored version before being printed in late 1852.
