Misc. Notes This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project. Daverio (Schumann: Herald of a "New Poetic Age", 1997, p.239 (&ff.)) refers to this as the Brahms-Wüllner edition. He also cautions that, contrary to the impression given by the movement-ending double-bars after the first two movements in this edition, reviews of this symphony after a 1841 performance in the A.M.Z. mentioned specifically that all 5(?) movements played _without pause_ - not just the last two.

average duration: since the revised version has two large repeats (outer movements) the first version does not, the average duration is going to go up some in any recording that takes them... and so it proves, in slow and fast recordings of the former and latter, it seems.- Schissel
