Question to the Mendelssohn experts: Did Mendelssohn write more pieces after his sister's death, and if so, do they have the same fascinating sinister vibe? It's so tragic that Mendelssohn didn't live longer. Goofy pseudo-intellectuals and wannabe art critics complain that Mendelssohn's style hadn't changed over his life, comparing him to Beethoven who lived 20 years longer and had a much longer career. And it's dumb to think Mendelssohn didn't change his style. In fact, there seem to be different Mendelssohn styles - the young prodigy finding his own way navigating through his idols, then the established and beloved composer with his neoclassical understanding of romanticism, and then the third version where Mendelssohn begins to slightly change and - in this string quartet - rebel against his established style. Mendelssohn isn't the greatest B composer - in fact, he contains both, so-called classical "B tier" attitudes getting in touch with progressive "A tier" attitudes which makes him my favorite composer. When Mendelssohn's style seems to contract itself, it always comes to the point where Mendelssohn finds a way to expand the density, while composers who always expand sometimes seem constrained in their expansion, trapped in their freedom.

The howl of anguish heard shortly after the piece opens would confirm most people's belief that this quartet was written in reaction to his sister, Fanny's, death. That was in May. Mendelssohn wrote the piece in the summer of 1847 and it was premiered in October. Since he died at the beginning of November, this was his last completed composition. All the opus numbers from 73 on were assigned posthumously.

Also beethoven’s style may have changed a lot more compared to different composers due to his crippling hearing. Imagine the difference of writing music when you were young and old, compared to when you could hear and when you’re deaf.

@@eliass596 I'm not the kind of person who says that something is not music. It's stupid to say that rap is not music, as much as it's stupid to say that heavy metal isn't. My comment has nothing to with the fact that heavy metal is or is not music, or with liking or not liking it. It has to do with the distinction between serious music and music for entertainment. I don't like, in general, the comparision between classical music and popular music because I think it's stupid to compare serious arts to entertainment. This is all I have to say. In my life I've enjoyed different kinds of music, including rap and metal, so it's not that you have to explain me that all genres of music contain pieces with a pleasant sound. I simply think that to say that heavy metal is serious art like classical music because it sounds good is not different than saying that the film "How high" is serious cinema because it makes you laugh.

@@letsschubertiad1966 Everyone knows that there are nice melodies outside classical music and that some pieces of classical music have weak melodies. So, you don't have to explain that there are some nice melodies in rock music. If I had written that there are not nice melodies in rock your reply would have been adequate. What I wrote in reality is different. Classical music is the genre of the highest class, rock music is vulgar. If you say that a genre of music is vulgar it doesn't mean that it doesn't contain pieces with good melodies. It only means that it's vulgar. It's quite common to read comments like "Vivaldi/Mozart/Beethoven was the first rock star" and I think that they are offensive. They were composers of serious classical music, you can not trivialize their art in this way!

@letsschubertiad1966 8 ай бұрын

Why do you need to be offended by my comparison?, I just don't like that you talk about rock like something that is spoiling the youth. And I love Mozart, Schubert, Bach, Beethoven, Donizetti, Weber, Wagner, Tschaikovsky, Filtsch, Liszt, Chopin, Verdi, Brahms, Mielk, Lortzing, Haydn, Finger, Elgar, Viotti and especialy Mendelssohn because I have a special connection to him. I don't trivialize classical music, I adore it. That's why I made an obvious exaggeration about this piece.

Never heard Mendelssohn untill I heard the Allegro Assai the other day. It blue my mind, I won't say literally because it wouldn't be true. But whaaaaat? Some one could make a badass edm beat with those tones. I have only heard a similar effect once before, when all the low scale brass all came in together and alone to make this powerful tone out of nowhere. I forget the piece now, but I could remember if I tried. I want to say Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony perhaps.
