Robert Schumann composed his D-minor Symphony in 1841, just after completing his Symphony No. 1 in B flat major op. 38. This version remained unpublished during the composers lifetime. After a thorough revision in late 1851, the work was given its first performance in Dusseldorf on 3 March 1853 under the composers direction. It was published that same year by Breitkopf & Hartel under the opus number 120 as Symphony No. 4.Joachim Draheims Urtext edition presents Schumanns Fourth Symphony in the 1851 version. The primary source is the first edition overseen by Schumann and practically free of errors.

Schumann wrote his Third Symphony within a few weeks in late 1850. It was premiered in Dusseldorf on 6 February 1851 under the direction of the composer. The nickname Rhenish Symphony seems to go back to Wilhelm Josef von Wasielewski, who published a biography of Schumann in 1858.This new edition is based on the first edition.

Though Mendelssohn planned to revise his Italian Symphony, he came to a halt after three quarters of the piece following the successful London world premiere in 1833. The following year, he newly composed only movements 2 to 4, but there was no further performance of the work, let alone a publication. The London version was thus printed posthumously in 1851 and paved the way for the works international breakthrough. It is thus perfectly plausible to continue to consider this early version of 1833 as the valid form of the work, since it alone can claim to have been entirely conceived, conducted and thus introduced to the public by the composer.
