Inseparably linked to the "Rhine Romanticism" is the story of the Loreley, who combed her golden hair while singing on a rock so that sailors looked up at her and sailed towards dangerous reefs and shallows of the river. The myth inspired painters,
poets and musicians, including the Rhinelander Max Bruch, who composed "The Loreley" in 1863, a very rarely performed opera. The Violin Concerto in E minor by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is completely different; it has been an indispensable part of concert halls since its premiere in Leipzig in 1845. Just a few years later, in 1850 in Düsseldorf, Robert Schumann's "Rhenish Symphony" was written. It is not a portrait of the river - rather, it combines sound-painting elements in which the Rhineland can be rediscovered.
