I had heard that they were fearless...sure does look like it!
Felix Mendelssohn was a contemporary of Schumann and Chopin, and he showed his musical talents in his childhood with pieces that are still in the repertory. The early chamber works are fun for the musicians. After a concert with this piece in the program, I went backstage to chat with Jimmy Ehnes, who had played violin in the piece.
You guys looked like you were having a lot of fun out there, I said.
Jimmy smiled and said, It was a lot of fun.
I put on my best frown and cleared my throat. Well, we cant have that, you know.
I love cracking musicians up.
This piece is scheduled for Friday night.
Mendelssohn: Quartet for Piano and Strings in B minor, Op. 3, third movement
