This must be the greatest chamber movement ever. Great performance, but ultimate credit must go to the genius of mendelssohn

Wasn't Mendelssohn about sixteen when he wrote this?
This is one of the most joyous pieces ever written, regardless of ensemble size; it is simply imposible to listen to it without a smile on your face!
