Revised version edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The revisions he was working on for this symphony, late in his life, have been edited into performable form and recorded twice now- room for this in the article? They affect mostly matters of orchestration but are not subtle! Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I see Greenfield’s opinion on the revised version of the 4th (though I am puzzled by it :) ) ELSchissel (talk) 18:40, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

'Italian' Epithet Mendelssohn's Own? edit

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

According to John Michael Cooper ^[1]the epithet 'Italian' is not Mendelssohn's own, he never included this on any of his symphonies nor did he publicly or privately refer to Op.90 as 'Italian'. (Jesse Green (talk) 21:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC))Reply
