Schumann und Chopin

In the organizer's words:

Pure Romanticism awaits you in this concert! Robert Schumann's Second Symphony glows with energy, emotion and vitality. Written at a time of personal crisis, the music tells of inner struggle, but also of triumph and hope. The finale in particular is a veritable firework display that makes Schumann's genius and his unshakeable will to live impressively palpable. Frédéric Chopin's First Piano Concerto, on the other hand, transports its listeners into a world of elegance and passion. With virtuoso runs and enchanting melodies, Chopin shows why he was celebrated as one of the greatest pianists and composers of his time.
The icing on the cake, so to speak, is an overture by Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's sister, who was in no way inferior to her brilliant brother.
