SCHUMANN, as listeners remember, had to overcome many difficulties and obstacles to win his bride, even having to go to law to overcome her father's objections. But towards the end of 1840, he was happily wedded to Clara Wieck , who afterwards became so famous a pianist herself, known to the whole world as Madame Schumann. The years immediately after his marriage produced some of the finest of Schumann's works in the larger forms, and this Symphony has always held a favourite place among them.
