Mendelssohn PCs - 1 or 2?
on: July 26, 2005, 07:23:35 PM
Which do you like more?

No.1 in Gm, Op.25
No.2 in Dm, Op.40

No.2 is the first ever concerto I learned and performed.  It's only now I'm doing No.1.  Anyway, I think, technically, the 2nd is harder than the 1st.  But, in terms of musicality, the 1st is definitely more musical than the 2nd.

He had a great idea starting the G minor, he must have cought the cold when he was finishing the first mouvement.

one, but only played in the style of Serkin.

His recording is AMAZING.
