Schumann Symphony No. 2
Schumann\u2019s life was marked with severe mental health issues. In 1844, Schumann suffered one of his worst breakdowns yet. He was dizzy, weak, had vision problems, couldn\u2019t sleep, and couldn't listen to music. By 1845 Schumann slowly began to recover and the first wholly new work he produced was a symphony in C Major. As Schumann said, \u201cI began to feel more myself when I wrote the last movement, and was assuredly better....still, it reminds me of dark days.\u201d Today, we'll talk all about this huge symphony!
