Schumann und Brahms

In the organizer's words:

"The melodies fly so that you have to be careful not to step on any". You can tell that Johannes Brahms composed his Second Symphony in the middle of nature. He spent an entire summer at Lake Wörthersee in Austria, where the landscape that inspired his melodies can still be traced today. Even audiences at the time thought they could hear blue skies, trickling springs, sunshine and cool shadows, and it is probably his most popular work for orchestra to this day. Robert Schumann's Violin Concerto, on the other hand, is completely inward-looking, and for a long time it was therefore somewhat overshadowed by other concertos of its kind. Very human and full of soulful emotions set to music, it is in no way inferior to them!
