I love that Violin Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn. I think it is Concerto E Minor Op. 64.
Another would be the ‘Italian Concerto”.
His sister was also very skilled in the musics, but overlooked by the chauvinism of the time.

When I have to prepare myself to endure something long and difficult or tedious, I play Mendelssohn’s ‘Scottish’ or as some parts are known, Fingals Cave. It’s like being on a long dark ocean voyage with heavy winds, heavy misting, and heavy listing to the sides.

I have always felt that the genius lineup should be the FOUR B's.....Beethoven, Bach, Brahms....and Bartholdy (Mendelssohn).

Midsummer Night's Dream...

Love the Italian Symphony - used to be the theme for our afternoon "Masterworks of Music" program when I engineered for the campus radio station years and years ago.....
