How did Schumann break his fingers?

Well... he wanted to make his fingers longer, so he or someone else made a metal machine that would pull his fingers to 'make them longer'. Let's just say it didn't go to well. he ended up with three (I think) broken fingers and he could not control them. He

died in an asylum because of his nervous breakdowns.

What is a symphony with two movements called?

Whatever the person that wrote it wants to call it.

Symphonies can have all sorts of variations in number of movements. Stravinsky wrote a piece he called "Symphony in Three Movements". Mozart's "Prague" Symphony (No. 38) has only three movements and is sometimes called the symphony without a minuet. Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony only has two movements, thought presumably it was not planned that way.

In the final consideration, it's best simply to go with whatever the composer called it.

What is the secret to playing Julian Cochran's music?

Cochran's music involves impressionist elements - fine gradients in palette, plus Eastern-European folk music motifs. Like French impressionists, the secret to playing the music well might be that there is no secret - instead just play what is written and the great beauty of the music itself will shine.

How long is beethoven' s 1st symphony?

The average symphony length is around 20-23 minutes long. This was a common length during the Classical and Romantic eras. For each composer it differs as well. I'm just giving a major estimate. Contemporary symphonies for example have drifted away from the common standard length. There is a symphony written by Dr. Michael Wolters lasting a mere 25 seconds including all four movements. The Mahler 3rd symphony lasts 1 hour and 45 minutes! There is a huge difference between the two. Most Haydn symphonies lasted 15-20 minutes like most Classical ones. Beethoven broke the barrier with his 9th symphony which was over an hour when played at the correct tempo. There are many symphonies lasting different amounts of time but overall I'd say the average symphony is 20-23 minutes long with all of it's movements.
