[@TheItalianAtheist]

While writing this symphony, Mendelsohn was in vacation in our country and wrote these words to his parents home: "This is Italy! And now has begun what I have always thought ... to be the supreme joy in life. And I am loving it. Today was so rich that now, in the evening, I must collect myself a little, and so I am writing to you to thank you, dear parents, for having given me all this happiness".

My favorite Mendelsohn story is how his father, a businessman, indulged his son's musical interest. Instead of forcing him into business, he hired musicians to play the latest compositions, and invited friends and business associates into his home for the concerts. Not for an established composer, but for a TEENAGER just learning composition on the fly.

In 6-7 weeks, it has been watched over 6,700 times and the "likes" outnumber the "dislikes" by 118-0. Clara the flautist is brilliant as usual, and so is the rest of the orchestra. All of the solos, duets, trios and echoes are played beautifully. If you love this piece, you will that one, too!

one of my favorite pieces

Everyone knows Mozart and Beethoven, why doesn't anyone remember Mendy? When I say this, I refer to the non-classical community.

[@steveschwieterman9109]

And many of them marched into or out of their graduation or marriage ceremonies to a Mendelssohn march, but they don't or won't remember!

If it wren't for Mendy you'd still be irrelavant!

Grew up with Mendelsshon, along with all the others, From Tartini to Tschailkowsky and everyone in between. A debt of gratitude I owe my father.

Likely the best allegro 112 and 72 combination in existence ( not forgetting the INCREDIBLE counterpoint!) - from an incredibly under-rated composer. I could listen to the first and second stanzas of this symphony FOREVER

What a divine flute part Mendelssohn wrote and this flautist steals the heart and show away! Slow movement a shade too fast for my imagination but admirable violas!

Have to agree and I dislike flute. Mendelssohn does immaculate scoring. I hear hints of midsummer dream too. Are gold flutes a real thing though

Twoset community disagrees here

[@paulsomers6048]

@@daniel3231995 Gold flutes are much loved for their inability to tarnish.

2 mov is a " procession", probably in Napoli, as some historians, about Mendelssohn voyage... I like more slowly...
