its erratic and scatty - no part of it blends
-
just LISTEN to the music and shut up
-
One of the greatest works ever composed by the Greatest composer of them all, The Great Jewish composer Felix Mendelssohn.
-
overture is op. 21! the rest of the piece is op. 61.

Apparently he wrote this aged 17 (though how he managed to have already written 60 opus is beyond me). Fantasic. Crazy.

Sooooooooooooo good for my heart and mind :) Thank you for posting ~PG~

@purplepeoplepurple Agreed, for the most part. Only, I don't dislike that there is just the one word. I think it's very interesting that there is a certain group of people who are named by their religion (even if some, or many, in that race don't follow the religion). I know I'm leaving our Mendelssohn conversation by saying this, but I will since you mentioned it being vexatious, I personally believe the Jews are God's people, so I don't mind it. I say this as a Christian, not as a Jew. Cheers!

@IaxobusJames - - It depends how you define "Jew." If you mean something racial, then, yes, he was Jewish. But if you mean something religious, no, he was not Jewish. I think it's not just confusing, it's vexatious not to have separate words for the two meanings. We can ask an Arab if he is a Muslim, but we have to ask a Jew if he is a Jew. It seems to keep the focus always on race.
