Felix Mendelssohn - String Octet in E flat major, Op. 20

@@emilianoturazzi Is it so difficult not to criticize someone for using an abbreviation that is understandable by many musicians?

[@emilianoturazzi]

@@AC-xh3pn yes it is very difficult for several good reasons partly of which I exposed in my post. by the way: 1) I don't know any musician using such a silly abbreviation. I'm a profesional musician so you can imagine that I know hundreds of musicians...I made a google search and I've found only five occurences of it... - I wouldn't call it a wide spread expression among musicians - infact, quite the opposite, it's really amateurish maybe used only in anglosaxon countries - it is so unprofessional and unclear that I wasn't sure what it referred to... I had to check Tchaikovsky's catalogue for being sure he wasn't talking about a string quartet or a serenade or a string composition (since here we are talking about a string octet) 2) even if it was "understandable by many musicans" not all readers are musicians... so it is simply unclear. 3) infact it is used just to show (more or less consciously) a supposed uncommon knowldege or familiarity, the belonging to a supposed "inner circle" of "initiated people"...

He was the grandson of Moses Mendelssohn, a very famous and influential eighteenth century philosopher. His family was very wealthy and influential, and had been patrons of JS Bach's sons. His first piano teacher at the age of six, Marie Bigot, was praised by both Beethoven and Haydn as being able to play their works better than they could. His first composition teacher, Zelter, was steeped in the same tradition that produced JS Bach, and he passed this influence onto Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn was also introduced to, and became friends with Goethe at the age of 11.

I think of Mendelssohn in two ways, first as the late spring and summer composer as much of his music (like the octet) reminds me of the lush green late springs and summers we have here in New England. The second way is as a king of the joyous romantic opening. While other composers know how to open a piece (Ludwig) if you look at his A Midsummer Night's Dream, Trio, Violin Concerto and the octet openings. Each throws the listener into it and gets them hooked in the best way possible.

Mendelssohn's unpolished works of his youth are in many respects better than the polished works of his mature period. They just have this spontaneity and unexpectedness that makes them stand out.

[@ketanfernandes4094]

The reason is, that most people don't realise that these masterpieces were written in his teens. His first symphony was written at the age of 15: a seldom heard master-work.that can be compared with the 'Italian'. He also wrote wonderful concertos at the age of 14 -17.

[@andresrozsa637]

And once again, "it's all about Heifetz". I don't think most people liked playing chamber music with him because he always hogged the spotlight. Not that that's a bad thing but it was inevitable. Artur Rubinstein and Heifetz parted ways 30+ years before either of them died in the 80s. The trio they had with Piatigorsky was very short-lived. Piatigorsky got along with them both individually but they couldn't hack it as a group, although during the time they were together they did a few dynamite recordings and Time-Life (I think?) filmed a documentary about them, which was really corny but the music naturally was amazing.

What I find interesting about the Octet is that there are actually two different versions. I have heard the original, and as expected, I heard the climbing struggle that is here subsumed under the first ending of the repeat in the first movement, and it was followed by the repeat of the exposition. However, I was shocked to hear it again when we came to the end of the repeat. I was relieved to know that the figure would not originally have been left out if the performers elected not to take the repeat. This and similar cases of substantial material under the first ending fascinate me.

Awesome, great performance. But isn't the tempo in the last movement a little fast musically? It's hard to differentiate and really perceive the notes in the 8th runs. Just a spontaneous thought, this is amazing in any case.

[@olla-vogala4090]

+Sorcerer88 I just checked with an online metronome, I was thinking about that too... Presto (the marking) is between 168-200, the tempo in this recording is about 170, so within this range... Of course there is the whole discussion with regard to changes in actual interpretations of tempi then, and in our times... But I think the main reason that some of the notes in the quick runs are not always discernible is because of the audio recording quality, which could have been better since it's only from 1961...

[@SimonPiano42]

+olla-vogala Yeah, that makes sense. 170 is on the low end for Presto even. It must have been more clear heard live. It's quite unlikely these world-class musicians would have sticked to the tempo if it blurred the notes acoustically.

[@JFGecik]

I enjoyed the first three movements immensely. I disliked the last movement because it was played too rapidly, resulting in a loss of drama, melody, etc.. It came across as though performed just to "show off" the virtuosi's mind-boggling finger/bow speed, not to please the ear, the mind, and the heart. I understand what several people have stated concerning "Presto" (and its recommended b.p.m.), but I have to believe that Mendelssohn had something else in mind (far lower than 170). I am now going to listen to at least one other interpretation of the work (on KZbin), hoping that I will prefer it.
