Clara Schumann, Brahms and Joseph Joachim, the dedicatee of Robert Schumann's violin concerto, agreed to remove the work from publication after just one private performance as Joachim convinced the others that it showed too much of Schumann's mental decline and should not be performed again. Bizarrely the work re-surfaced in the 1930's following a s茅ance attended by the famous violinist Jelly D'Aranyi, in which the spirit of Schumann told her to find the lost work and play it again. In a second s茅ance the spirit of Joachim manifested himself and thoughtfully informed Jelly D'Aranyi that the score and parts were in the Prussian State Library, where he had deposited them all those years before.
No such scandal surrounds Dvorak's Piano Quintet which is one of his most relaxed and carefree works and has attracted musicians for generations.
