The Sketches for the Fourth Movement of Schumann's Second Symphony, Op. 61

Abstract

T HE SOURCES FOR ROBERT SCHUMANN'S SECOND SYMPHONY in C Major have not enjoyed a particularly fortunate history. The autograph score, originally housed in the Breitkopf archive,' disappeared after World War II and is available to us now only in the form of negative photographs preserved in the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek.2 Furthermore, the sketches of the symphony have been almost completely inaccessible since they were completed around Christmas, 1845. Previously published information about them comes mostly from Wolfgang Boetticher's laconic description, which appeared in 1941 as part of his inventory of the Wiede Collection:
