Collected Works Edition title page for Robert Schumann's Manfred, Op.115
Written primarily in 1848, it was first performed at the Gewandhaus concert at Leipzig on 14 March 1852.[2] The most highly regarded piece in the work is the Overture. Composer Hugo Wolf wrote that the work "has brought the essence, the focal point of the drama to plastic expression with the simplest strokes."[3] Music historian Peter Ostwald wrote that the Overture was written during a time when Schumann was facing "exquisite suffering" from "inner voices," or auditory hallucinations.[4]
