  • the quartet's name is Cherubini, not Cherubibi!!! please change, because I study with Prof. Schoneweg and i've been looking for his quartet and couldn't find anything! but thank you for putting this up!!

  • thank you! i will change it!

  • i love this piece it is my favorite mendelssohn composed it because of the death of his sister

    im not sure about this but i think that he died of a stroke two weeks after he wrote this piece

  • Not two weeks but two months :) Thank you for your comment!

  • i watched this since the view is about 5000+ something......Its never get old, its juz perfect version of mendelssohn's piece

  • @PhysicalsimForever Opus numbers after Op. 70 or so (which includes this quartet as well as his piano sextet) were assigned posthumously.

  • this is one of my favorite chamber pieces!

  • The painting in the video. Does anyone know if this is one of Mendelssohn's own paintings?

  • @PhysicalsimForever

    I completly agree !!!!!! Mendelssohn is a real gesius !!! So amazing I love him !

  • I'm just curious to know if the 'cellist in this fine group is related to the great baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, if you know.

    This is such a wonderful work, and thank you very much for posting it.

  • @PhysicalsimForever Uhh, wow, aren't you overreacting a bit... maybe? The way I see it, he simply worded his thoughts wrong, and I felt like pointing that out. Fact is, Mendelssohn was *saddened* by his sister's *death*, and that's that. Period. If you want to add something to that, you could also say that he probably knew he was soon to die himself. -- You are right of course, but still, let's try not to make a controversy where there was none, mmh?
