2010.2.7. Seattle Symphony musically speaking concert.

Busoni: Suite from Turandot, Op. 41.
Schumann: Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 97, “Rhenish”

My first time to this series. Gerard Schwarz spent 15 minutes on each piece, pointing out the musical phrases and imagery it's trying to convey, as well as some historical background of the composer. Educational to non musically trained people like me. 2nd movement of Schumann's No. 3 is very fitting for its title: pretty and flowing.
