Felix Mendelssohn (3 February 1809 – 4 November 1847)

I'm making stickers of some of my favourite quotes by composers, so I thought I'd share some Mendelssohn ones!

Here's also a link to my favourite recording of my favourite Mendy composition. I also love the little story behind it.

From wikipedia: Following his appointment in 1835 as principal conductor of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Mendelssohn named his childhood friend Ferdinand David as the orchestra's concertmaster. The work's origins derive from this professional collaboration. In a letter dated 30 July 1838, Mendelssohn wrote to David: "I should like to write a violin concerto for you next winter. One in E minor runs through my head, the beginning of which gives me no peace."

Bro, that opening motif is the goat, and I love how it repeats throughout the first movement in different variations.

It still hurts

It's hard to listen to La Campanella now without remembering twoset :<

Propaganda:

Mendelssohn:

My absolute favourite violin concerto. That dramatic first movement with the gorgeous second theme. The most EXQUISITE second movement (when the violin hits the high C my heart just melts). The super joyful and fun third movement. The fact that each movement flows into the next. Please vote my boy Mendelssohn please my heart will be as happy as when it listens to this piece Recording: Hilary Hahn (YouTube link: https://youtu.be/SDwKJ6bBXEA?si=w7wQwK-NliQiCLVV). I travelled to another country just to hear her play this live. She is THAT GOOD 😍

It's brilliant

Bach: None

-Buying records cheers me up... whenever I feel low, I buy some new records... I was so depressed today I bought Mendelssohn's Violin concerto, Brahms' Second piano concerto and Handel's Ode for Saint Cecilia's day...

-Wow! How depressed can you get?

On this antique postcard we see the German Composer, Pianist and Organist Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) and the birthplace in Hamburg. In his short life he compose many hundreds of works and some of this are in the repertoire until today in the concert halls all over the world.

If classical music is supposed to help you study and relax why does it fuck so hard

At least we have something in a different key at least.

Mendelssohn makes me want to throw myself off a cliff, but in a good way. Listen to those dark, flowing lines and tell me you're not moved to do some kind of arson?

I wanna do this so I’m doing it-

I stg it’s just a coincidence these are all instrumental, I don’t brood to orchestral songs all day LMAO

making @wigglys-dikrats do this because I can :3c (/nf) and anyone else who wants to!!

Challenging you all!

Put your music library on shuffle, then list the first five songs that come up in a poll to let people vote for which one they like the most!

Then tag Tumblr friends to keep the game going!

The seeding is done!

I've finished seeding the brackets! The posts with the first few concerti will go up shortly. Please note that the bracket is seeded so that the most popular contestants will go up against the least popular contestants first, so please don't be upset if you feel that the matchup is "unfair" - that's intentional.

Double Concertos

Brahms composed a double concerto for violin and cello. Bach for two violins. Other great composers also wrote double concertos too such as Mozart, Mendelssohn, Stravinsky, Bartok, Telemann, Vivaldi and Haydn. But a concerto for more than a single instrument and orchestra can still be seen as a special event due to the rarity of performances. For the adventurous composers (and performers) the…
