1st movement from String Symphony No. 8

from: Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)

Originally for string orchestra in D major, transposed here to F. The 14- or 15-year-old composer brilliantly and professionally weaves together themes evocative i.a. of Mozart's Magic Flute overture, “Prague” Symphony, and Bach's Toccata BWV 540 (q.v.).

Keyboard parts include separate recorder parts at no additional cost.
