Robert Schumann's Symphony No. 3 in E flat major is a piece of Rhenish culture. The work's vitality as well as its symphonic architecture demonstrates just what mastery Schumann had over the large-scale format. One might equally name Schumann's third symphony the Romantic, since it brings together almost every ingredient that creates the spirit, ideas and feelings of Romanticism. Kent Nagano regards the Symphony No. 3 as a masterpiece because it represents perfectly Schumann's extraordinary talents: \He was the only composer to deal successfully with Beethoven's legacy. He created a wholly new type of symphony. Schumann proved that it is possible in art to grow beyond one's limits.""
