I couldn't find anything about it skimming through the New Grove (which
states that the symphony's first performance was in Lepzig), although it
does mention a quickly quelled insurrection in Dresden during which he left
town in a hurry w/ Clara and daugher Marie, abandoning the younger children.
I think that, for the most part *Frazier* is a fine sitcom, one of my
favorites, but it's lines like the above reference to a Schumann symphony
that give appreciation for the finer things of life a bad name.
