Mendelssohn composed a piece so hard it became an audition excerpt for flutes, clarinets and violins.

This piece was used in the 1946 movie "The Yearling" during the scene when the boy is running through the woods with the fawn and other deer. It was perfect!

@adipsous 2 жыл бұрын

Also, it's used to open the 2002 movie Red Dragon. It's being played in concert. One of the flute players flubs his part and Hannibal Lector, in the audience, takes offence. He kills the less-than-perfect musician and serves his body parts to the symphony board at a dinner party.

I love this- Midsummer Night's Dream is my favorite total work- This piece can't be played any better than this. The Intermezzo is actually my favorite part, but it has to be played restlessly, like the first Midsummer Night's late night puff of Autunm. Mad dogs like me have been there. youtube is great- I've played this for years, but really fun to watch now too.
