The young Mendelssohn was greatly influenced in his childhood by the music of Bach, Beethoven and Mozart and traces of these can all be seen in the twelve early string symphonies, mainly written for performance in the Mendelssohn household and not published or publicly performed until long after his death. He wrote these from 1821 to 1823, when he was between the ages of 12 and 14 years old.
Such a beautiful piece! I love Mendelssohn.

Mendelssohn is a genius! I know his early symphonies since a long time ago. This is a very good performance.
