Mendelssohn String Quartet No.1, Op.12 Score

[@ketanfernandes4094]

Even when Mendelssohn is clearly Romantic, many late Classical influences of Beethoven can be heard in the first movement!

[@brianbernstein3826]

The sonata pathetique’s motives are everywhere here :)

[@akwan2000]

21:18 that key change back to e-flat major is the most best moment of the whole quartet... :)

[@brandonmacey964]

C minor?

[@chimate3810]

@@brandonmacey964 It's C minor to E flat major.

[@brandonmacey964]

@@chimate3810 oh OK I see the moment now, very nice. Mendelssohn is so good. I prefer the second movement scherzo from the quartet in e minor

[@tweenypatata625]

Just realized twoset played fast

[@alexhagginsii8841]

really? did you speed it up when you listened to this one to the speed they played.

[@calebjacobs3433]

@Alex Haggins II I checked it with a metronome, didn’t speed it up or anything. They played fast.

15:39 String Quintet in C major, D. 956 4mov.

[@georgel2201]

Sounds like the theme of the second movement was an inspiration for Schumann's last movement of kreisleriana (no8)

[@williammatthewjosephgenova9802]

As for Mozart, no one is ever allowed to tell Felix that he had too many notes. What he composed is the right amount. Lui era un genio.

[@Bubbamacomb]

Thank you Twoset

[@ffun662]

I hear so much of Brahms in Mendelssohn's music

[@vittoriopanizio4428]

actually mendelssohn came before Brahms

[@NotNochos]

Actually, Mendelssohn was before Brahms, which is interesting because Brahms likely inspired from Mendelssohn.

Thank you Mason!

[@brianmoore3892]

I am learning this on c. Guitar, checking to see how close F. Tarrega transcription of the Canzonetta part, and wondering what orig. key it is in. My trans.is Am A Am the whole Canzonetta. I think now because here it is either B flat major or G minor, it probably is G minor, because it begins and ends on the dominate fifth of D, then to G major, then back to G minor and ending the Canzonetta

[@jojomj]

anyone notice the part at 16:42 sounds like the transition to A flat major in the 1st movement of the 6th quartet? theres no way that's not some sort of nod to his youth.
