"Let me remind you that even if you do possess friends and admirers worthier and closer to you, none is more sincere than I" Chopin letter to Chopin Felix Mendelssohn

@imedicineman 5 лет назад

I generally think of Mendelssohn for his symphonies and other orchestral works rather than his rpiano contributions. 'looking forward to the deeper dive. Great stuff here Allysia as always. Thank you.

I love Mendelssohn! His “songs without words” op 30 : 4 in B minor is my favorite!! ❤️

@cameronjamieson5091 4 года назад

It is sad that Fanny Mendelssohn never gets the credit she deserves as a composer. IMHO -her works for piano were on par with those from Felix. Fanny, although not accepted as a composer by the society at the time still composed many great pieces -even some were published under Felix's name!

@matejeber91 5 лет назад

Great video! The Conservatorium that Mendelssohn established in Leipzig it is known as the first institute for music in Germany. He definitely made a huge contribution that we still know Bach (Johann was almost forgotten and his sons were more famous) because he even gave initiative to build Bach memorial in front of Thomas Church in Leipzig. He also made a huge progress in conducting.

I have just finished this topic about Romantic period Felix Mendelssohn in particular(in high school)... Thanks for the explanation ✅

Came for the proper pronunciation of his name, stuck around because in the six terms of my music theory education I never stopped to learn anything about the man. Thanks for the presentation!

Mendelssohn is amazing! Looking forward for more videos about him :)

@randybedingfield2349 Год назад

The greatest composer in history.. In my estimation: most impressive prodigy of all time... that I am aware of anyway... creativity, accomplishments (educator and founder of Leipzig Conservatory) prolific output, quality and facility on the klavier ... piano scores are extremely challenging and require expertise in technique.and fluid yet relaxed technique to pull off. And all this while only living less than 40 yrs of age. Unsurpassed, I would say- Even by Mozart .

[Editor here] For Cécile Charlotte Sophie Jeanrenaud's b-d it should be 1817 - 1853. Sorry about that!

@MarsLos10 5 лет назад

And also one of their children was born in 1879? What?! Mendelssohn died in 1847 lol Plus the intro of the video was awkward without that piano music hahah But no worries, you always do great job :D

I was born the same day as Mendelssohn. 3rd of February. Lol i think. Don't hate me if im wrong.

@stephenstringer3328 2 года назад

I love your AWESOME work. All of it is exactly ON POINT. However, I believe that the pronunciation of Goethe is "gur-tah"..... (I could absolutely be wrong though.)

@eckligt Год назад

Yeah, here's a video from a native speaker showing how to pronounce it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9sC-bjMO4_g.html Basically the "oe" is something like the vowel from "girl". The "th" is pronounced like a "t", as German doesn't have an equivalent of the two English "th" sounds (as in "think" and "this"). And finally, the "von" is pronounced "fon", while in the current video she pronounced it more like "van". There are also problems with how she pronounced "Leipzig". Here's a video about how to pronounce that name: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OA4-fWX50L0.html

You made it seem like her father was supportive. He actually sent her letters twice to not pursue it.

What if Jenny Lind loved him for the spirit of music that he embodied and other great qualities of a person? It would be nice to think that neither were adulteresses.

@stevenru4516 5 лет назад

please, spend some time on liszt rendition of midsummer dream in one of the next episodes, wish to learn it some day

@deenagara9151 4 года назад

His music & Gustav Mahler's music were ban during the Nazi era in Germany. Out of curiosity, are you going to cover on both Verdi and Wagner? My younger autistic brother loves both their music, especially the latter.

@marklambert4793 5 лет назад

Ah, the wonders and joys of parenthood. NAKED BABY! 👶 lol 😂 On a serious note 📝 His life sounds like it would make a beautiful film, or maybe even a mini series of some kind. At least as interesting as Mozart’s.

@anthonyholroyd5359 3 года назад

The Scottish symphony was inspired by Mendelssohns time in England?? . . . Erm . . . No . . . He ventured considerably north of the English border for that one.

At least she didn't say Skooman

@sachseco 4 года назад

pronunciation: Goethe (ger-teh), Moscheles (Moss-ske-leez), Cecile (say-seal), Leipzig (Lipe-zig). Also, your high speaking should be lower. Listen to the actress, Tallulah Bankhead!

@burricanecarter 4 года назад

I think you're wrong on Moscheles. He was born in Prague and the Czech version of the surname would be Mošeleš (MO-she-lesh) and probably comes from Moishe (a Jewish name meaning delivered from the water).

@michaeltheophilus5260 3 года назад

I have noticed quite a few mispronounced names and compositions on these videos

Great content overall, but please check your pronunciation of German names. Here are some videos with the correct pronunciation: * von Goethe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9sC-bjMO4_g.html * Leipzig: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OA4-fWX50L0.html

So you mean that Haendel and J. S. Bach were yesterday's trash? I just can't believe it... I do not use to comment on these kind of informative videos, which I normally find quite positive for a wider audience, but as a conductor and music history teacher I must ask you to be careful of what you say and how.

@mr.anonymous4453 4 года назад

Your kidding right

@michaeltheophilus5260 3 года назад

I despise Berlioz liszt and Chopin so I am in agreement with Mendelssohn

@pedrolopezlopez457 4 года назад

I am sorry, Johann Wolfgang von... what? Goothe? "oe" is pronounced /uh/ in Dutch, not in German! In addition to that, "th" is not pronounced as the sound in "Martha", but rather a simple /t/. Regarding "von", it should be pronounced close to /fon/. Nobody would understand you in Europe, and you are just talking about the most revered writer in German language!

@kingkyleiv7960 3 года назад

Dude are you mad?

@hannahkent4331 3 года назад

I was scrolling through the comments just HOPING someone would address the mispronunciation. Thank you SO much! I am a vocal music education major and I routinely perform pieces set to Goethe's poetry. In fact, I am doing 3 different German pieces on my senior voice recital that use a poem by Goethe. I winced every time I heard "goo - thay." lol

@danabrousseau6579 Год назад

Good try at a brief presentation of biographic info for Mendelssohn, but, as mentioned by others, you should do just a bit of research on the proper pronunciation of words such as Leipzig (you should have squeezed in a passing reference to the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, although I’m sure you would have badly mangled the pronunciation), Moscheles, Goethe, et al.
