"While best remembered for his piano music and songs and some of his symphonic and chamber works Schumann made significant contributions to all the musical genres of his day and cultivated a number of new ones as well. His dual interest in music and literature led him to develop a historically informed music criticism and a compositional style deeply indebted to literary models. A leading exponent of musical Romanticism he had a powerful impact on succeeding generations of European composers." John Daverio and Eric Sams in Grove Music Online. C. F.

First Edition later issue; the first issue was published in November of 1847. McCorkle p. 269. Hofmann p. 137 "later issues bear the year to the title". "The Second Symphony coheres by virtue of a web of recurrent thematic strands. The technique of motivic recall is enhanced by Schumann's employment of contrapuntal combinations. Specifically the chorale theme introduced midway through the finale is integrated with the opening theme of the first movement also a chorale in the symphony's concluding passages. The displacement of the finale's initial march-like theme by a pair of interwoven chorales in essence lifts the Second Symphony from a secular to a quasi-religious plane."
