Cody and I listened to this early in the morning–it was bright and cheerful and we both really enjoyed it.
The scores are available online here:

I do not know much about Schumann, but he evidently wrote this to be “popular” and it is–it is also short for having five movements–the last three all seem to go by very quickly. I found it to be a rather “natural” symphony, full of folk song qualities. A good listen.
