I'd just like to point out that trumpets couldn't play chromatically back then. They were restricted to the notes of the harmonic series. If you look at what Mendelssohn wrote, his writing is strictly limited to those notes. I don't think a completion that doesn't take this fact into account does justice to Mendelssohn.
@@gerdprengel7616I'd like to add onto that; horns were also limited to the harmonic series. I would write whatever key Mendelssohn originally set the brass to and have it only play notes from that. Also, transposing instruments don't switch very often within movements, so I would tacet clarinets, horns, and trumpets wherever the key isn't right for them. For example, I see there is a moment where the key goes from 0 sharps to 3 sharps. That would be a moment where the A clarinet could be used instead of the Bb.
If this was sketched in 1845 that was after Wagner had written Tannhäuser. And by that time valved trumpets were a thing. Just because Schumann and later Brahms never used them, did not mean they weren't available to them.
@@Quotenwagnerianer True, but if you study Mendelssohn's music, he only uses the harmonic series with a few exceptions, but those exceptions can be achieved with stopping so it's pretty clear he only wrote for natural trumpets and horns.
What great work you did! I tried something similar with an unfinished sketch by Schumann back some years… I will side with what was already said, horns and trumpets are used slightly too chromatically for that period and the composer. If you want, you can use trombones for that purpose, since they were much higher in pitch than today and could easily take over what you sometimes gave the horns..
@@Lucky_AL Ich habe das auch nicht verstanden, war damals nur nur sooo glücklich das bekommen zu haben und wollte das dann nicht diskutieren. Bei großem Interesse von dir könnte ich dir auszugsweise ein paar Fotos machen...

Thank you for the hint!
@@gerdprengel7616 Otherwise you did a great job, just remember to always do the full research before creating a completion. 😉

Thank you, Lucky, I will see to adjust that
@@gerdprengel7616 andere Frage: Wo findet man das Originalmanuskript, welches orchestriert sein soll? Finde auf IMSLP nur das reduzierte Particell…
@@Lucky_AL Ich habe mir eine Kopie des Originals von einer Library in Oxford zusenden lassen - leider unter der Auflage, es nicht weiter zu geben ...

I adore the theme that occurs at 1:35... very heroic!
What is this music composition software?

面白い。何時かFinaleまで完成させたい。
????? What do you want to say???
@gerdprengel7616 I will complete up to Finale.
@@user-jf6nu3yh7g on what basis do you want to do it? I actually tried this, see the link in the description ...
@gerdprengel7616 Have you any theme？
