Mendelssohn / String Symphony No. 7 in D minor

[@TheJamesalden]

I had learned about how Mendelssohn had wanted these beautiful manuscripts to be destroyed after his death but, thankfully...someone had the Grace to do otherwise, and, now doubt...how profoundly grateful we are for that...THANK YOU!!!....

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

really?

[@snakey934Snakeybakey]

I know the Nazis destroyed a lot of his works, but I never knew that he himself wanted them destroyed.

[@ThreadBomb]

@@snakey934Snakeybakey I don't think the Nazis destroyed Mendelssohn's works. "When Hitler came to power, the Nazis restricted access to the Mendelssohn materials but did not destroy them. During the bombing of Berlin, manuscripts, paintings and other works by Jewish artists were moved to the countryside for safekeeping. For a long time it was thought that the batch containing the library's Mendelssohn holdings, which had supposedly been sent to a monastery in Silesia, had in fact been lost or destroyed by the advancing Soviet troops. / But a few years ago it was discovered that the Mendelssohn archives had actually been deposited in the Biblioteka Jagiellskonska in Cracow." www.nytimes.com/1986/06/29/arts/music-notes-new-mendelssohn-works-are-found.html

as a cellist this song is a blessing bc i love fast things for cellos !!!!!!! bless UP

[@mrbigarms]

I have loved these early woks by Mendelssohn for many years, so fresh and inventive.

[@artoffugue333]

He wrote all 12 of these string symphonies between the ages 12 and 14. His interest in Bach was very keen even then, as it was throughout his life, and the influence is strong, so one might regard these more as studies than showpieces.

[@SuperSpud01]

As a bass player, this song was quite different than what I'm used to.

[@sgregomes]

Amazing..

[@happyjoanna27]

Yay! Premiere violas are awesome! :)

[@notaire2]

This work has its own beauty and originality. It's never an imitation of Vivaldi's works.

[@ThreadBomb]

Closer to Bach than Vivaldi, anyway.

[@natashaeagle8819]

Just Perfect....Thank you!

[@happyjoanna27]

I love this piece! I'm playing it in BYSO and its really fun but hard too. I'm a violist.

[@TorqueMaster56]

Nice recording!

[@dancingcellochick]

played this in orchestra at interlochen arts camp it was amazing!

[@UnbaisedGamer]

I like how the opening movement sounds a bit like Bach or Handel at the start

[@yonatanlipnik]

Simon Arnerich you probably hear the sequences. Baroque style.

[@barbarab.361]

it sounds like Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach @@roshansreedhar4727

[@ThreadBomb]

Definitely a baroque influence, which he got from his teacher. When he got older he started to listen to Beethoven (and also Spohr, but we don't talk about that!).

[@Kiegas]

Oh man... it's been 4 years since I played this in BYSO 7th grade. Good times

[@polishguy195]

It sounds very baroque ;)

[@gigelcocostarc4208]

Siewca it’s actually romantic but when The Composer was born he was influenced by Mozart and other classical or even baroque artists

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

@@gigelcocostarc4208 he first discovered Baroque after the 1700's. (Re)discovered if you will.

[@barbarabottcher1797]

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach oder evtl auch Wilhelm Friedemann Bach haben ihn bestimmt beeinflusst

[@yuanxinliu1000]

This guy was 13 when he wrote this...

[@singhjackson2698]

Yuanxin Liu And he died when he was 39

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

He was another Mozart. I think wasnt he jew he would be regarded as the following in line. But they only wanted Germanish composers. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Wagner, Schoenberg... also Schumann and Bruckner and Bruch.

[@ThreadBomb]

@Simon Lomberg Actually, we know that he led these string symphonies from the keyboard. There are recordings of these works with keyboard by the L'Orfeo Barockorchester led by Michi Gaigg. (Goodman also used keyboard but you can't hear it.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYGTonSPjp13b9U

Sounds like a strange but delightful cross between Handel and Mozart

[@christophercanadatheist]

Actually, it sounds just like Mendelssohn Sinfonia no. 7

[@Kiegas]

Same! I'm in Premiere BYSO (viola) too! :D

[@jinyangxia8603]

like a boss

[@Broadwayfan1999]

I’m playing this with my conservatory string ensemble

[@nocturnallsnake4228]

Lucky you. I would love that.

[@kahlanhanle6395]

I’m so annoyed that there are ads between movements. That should not be allowed

[@charlottewhyte9804]

never heard these before but do like,a little like Handel

[@vcarter0]

I'm playing it at Carnegie hall too!

[@vcarter0]

yes it is

[@leb0407]

OMIGOSH GUYS I will too (BTW It's Isabelle) I bet that there'll be a couple prodigy 6th graders there

[@leb0407]

I'm in 7th grade too! I play the viola

[@leb0407]

Well, I've gotten down the Overture to the Wind, (Vincent can vouch for it... sort of) and I'm working on this song. I'll get the rest down soon enough :P

[@vcarter0]

G R A N D E !

[@davidp9280]

Just curious: did the Northern Chamber Orchestra give permission for its recording to be here? I'm assuming that the poster of this video, and Google, are profiting from the ads that play before the video, but what about the musicians?

[@scrymgeour34]

Clearly you've never tried sharing music on KZbin. None of these videos are monetized. As for the ads (which are there because companies fraudulently claim copyright ownership of the music and YT usually declines to contest those claims) I fight and lose 9 out of 10 DMCA claims made on each one of them. If KZbin wasn't like this, I wouldn't have stopped uploading videos five years ago.

[@scrymgeour34]

Actually, it looks like Nicholas Ward and his orchestra (through a third party share working for Naxos Records) are being compensated through these ads. Click the 'Show More' tab on this video. Not sure yet about the other string symphonies I posted.

[@Moribus_Artibus]

This sounds a lot like Vivaldi's Bassoon Concerto in D minor

[@zaparinitista]

Does anyone know who's painting is that? Thanks up front

[@rachelg4568]

it’s in the description at the bottom

[@bass0129]

Am I the only one who realized that he was 12 when this was written..

Playing at duke university string school.

[@noahmendez121]

What is this painting?

[@PTSD_Guts]

No idea, but I really like it.

[@PTSD_Guts]

Wait sorry, forgive me for not being a troll. It's obviously darude sandstorm.

[@janesselan1517]

It's in the description just so you know. Very... creative :)

@@janesselan1517 Huh. My first guess was Goya.

[@Moribus_Artibus]

yeh, Im getting a vivaldi vibe from it, right?

[@subtleoblivionmaze6744]

This amazing, I like the Hebrides better but this is still so beautiful.

[@happyjoanna27]

i agree. I'm glad we're not playing it this way...

18:47

[@happyjoanna27]

So true :) About 30 from me.

[@bradleyhouchens2094]

Idk what tempo this is but I think it’s around 200 the original is below that, my orchestra is taking it 210🤦🏼‍♀️😂 we insisted.

[@Moribus_Artibus]

This sounds a lot like Vivaldi

[@danielda1780]

Meh too I'm not viola but I'm violin :D in premiere byso. I think the tempo is really fast :S
