Eulenburg Miniature Scores
Overture zu Goethes Hermann und Dorothea. op. 136. orchestra. Partition d'étude.

The overture was written in just five days in December 1851. The starting point for this composition was Schumann's desire to use Goethe's work of the same name as a basis for a singspiel. The Marseillaise that can be heard in the overture alludes to a scene of the epos. Instrumentation : orchestra op. 136
