Robert Schumann wrote his in B-flat Major Symphony in the years 1840/41. After a run-through following its world premiere in Leipzig on 31 March 1841, Schumann thoroughly revised the work for the printing of the parts. We have used the virtually error-free first printing of the score ( Breitkopf & Härtel, 1853) as the principal source of the present Urtext edition. "This edition is in study score format, using Breitkopf familiar clear and uncluttered print." (Sheet Music)
