Myasstro's Take on Schumann

So today is Robert Schumann's birthday. One of my favorite composers. But which side of Schumann do I like better, Florestan or Eusebius? I love the Sturm und Drang of the Fourth Symphony, the ecstatic finales of all of his symphonies, the three trumpets in Eb minor in the Manfred Overture. But it's the Eusebius side I couldn't live without: the second movement of the Piano Concerto, for instance, or the third movement of the Third Symphony, or his most tender songs piano works, and chamber music. In fact, I think I'll listen to Dichterliebe right now. Also, Schumann fans should perpare themselves for a rare performance of Das Paradeis und die Peri next year with the San Francisco Symphony. Check the schedule.
