Robert Schumann writes two symphonies: Symphony nr.1 in Bb, opus 38 (also called "Spring"-symphony), and Symphony nr.4 in D-minor, opus 120. The D-minor symphony was edited extensively by Schumann in 1851, and thus was given a much later opus number and subsequently referred to as nr.4, although it is actually nr.2. Johannes Brahms preferred the original 1841 version of the D-minor symphony, the score to which he had in his possession, and quarreled with his intimate friend, Schumanns widow Clara Schumann, over the performing rights to this original version.
