Kurzbeschreibung Schumann’s C-major symphony contains several allusions, most famously to Haydn’s symphony no. 104 (opening), the initials B-A-C-H (movement 2), and Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte (finale). In addition, it adopts a generally dark tone and manifests a peculiar treatment of the structural resolution in the finale. Critics have discussed these aspects of the symphony, yet there remain unnoticed points through which narratological analysis can contribute to the understanding of this work. This study demonstrates some previously unremarked allusions in the symphony, particularly additional references to Beethoven, Mozart, and Schumann himself. It suggests that by means of these references the narrative voice of the work claims an identity by association. The allusions locate the narrator-subject within the orbit of the canon of great German composers. Moreover, one overlooked allusion offers insight into the symphony’s plot. It is well established that the action in Schumann’s C-major symphony belongs to the end-accented plot archetype. A musical reference to Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, together with a neglected remark in Schumann’s correspondence, reveals what may have been the composer’s own understanding of the meaning of the symphony’s plot–-a process of self-realization.(RILM)
