Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the classical music video of Leonard Bernstein conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra "Robert Schumann-Symphony No. 1 In B Flat Major, Op. 38 "Spring" in October 1984.
Thank you for honoring the initial performance of Robert Schumann's Spring Symphony which was the 'first completed symphonic work composed by Robert Schumann.'
Background from {[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._1_(Schumann]}
"The premiere took place under the baton of Felix Mendelssohn on 31 March 1841 in Leipzig, where the symphony was warmly received.[5] According to Clara's diary, the title "Spring Symphony" was bestowed upon it due to Adolf Böttger's poem Frühlingsgedicht. The symphony's opening has traditionally been associated with the closing lines of Böttger's poem, "O wende, wende deinen Lauf/Im Thale blüht der Frühling auf!" (“O, turn, O turn and change your course/In the valley, Spring blooms forth!")."
