Listening to this for my music appreciation class. Am amazed that it was written when Mendelssohn was just seventeen years old. It seems to be quite an intricate piece!

Never have I heard a composition be so well composed, if you know what I mean. There is not a single misplaced note by a single instrument throughout over 10 minute of continuous musical paradise. And never before has a donkey sounded so great! And to actually be able to incorporate that without it feeling totally random is a stroke of genius all by itself. There's no doubt in my mind: Mendelssohn is one of the most underestimated composers ever.

Mendelssohn is surrounded by the powerful mental barrier that can not enter anything . The power of tremendous music emanates from the barrier . This work is enthereal and effulgent . My heart wavered with emotion .
food for the soul. Listened to nothing but classical from 0-12 years ,then The Beatles came on the scene, followed by rock+ roll, jazz, ska +reggae,blues + soul and all sorts of stuff in between.Love it all, but the complexity and beauty of classical compositions especially those of Mozart,Beethoven and Mendelssohn have stood the test of time and I never tire of listening to them-especially when performed by masters of their art,as here.
When I was a kid in the early 1950's there was a morning cartoon show that played old silent cartoons and used classics as background music. That was my intro to classical music. They used several themes from this piece regularly, especially The Dance of the Clowns.
This is the inspiration for Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe, which was first illuminated at the Savoy Theatre by the electric light on 25th November 1882.
I'm playing this in chamber orchestra... I play viola, so the part isn't nearly as hard as the violins', but I'm still amazed how fast this orchestra can perform this piece. We're aiming for 15 minutes or less, and this is at 12... the piece and orchestra are amazing.
My ballet studio is doing a dance piece to this beautiful song for our spring recital! I really wanted to listen to it, so here I am! I absolutly love all the parts to the music!
Che dire di questa fresca e bellissima... fiaba, per uno che stravede per Mendelssohn, in accoppiata con Abbado, che si vuole di più? Ancor se cantata in lingua inglese, da me preferita.
@happyFF15 Lot of competition, I guess. But any complete version of the overture should be outrageously popular. Not that I expect it to be, only that it deserves to be. Mendelssohn is one of my two most favorite composers (Vivaldi's the other). Neither one of them has created a work that I've heard and didn't like. IMHO, this piece is one of his most expressive and beautiful.
ESTA ABERTURA DO SONHO DE UMA NOITE DE VERÃO, É O EXEMPLO MAIS MARCANTE COMO AS PRIMEIRAS OBRAS PARA PIANO, ÓPERAS, SINFONIAS E CONCERTOS DE MOZART, SÓ PODEM SER PRODUZIDAS POR RAROS E SUPERDOTADOS GÊNIOS COMO: MENDELSSOHN E MOZART..
He composed this ouverture at the age of 17 (1826), but finished the rest of the work as incidental music in 1842, and while he was well in the neoclassical style, he managed to complete the work in the same energetic style as he wrote 16 years earlier.
I wouldn't call 0:20-1:04 peaceful at all (tremolos and modulations, suspensions and ambiguous resolutions), and then "surprise" is in fact much more "early-XIXc.-standarised" and "tonically-stable" than the preceding fragment. But this is Mendelssohn - contradictory and magical ; )
Because people don't come to youtube to listen to music, per se. People use itunes or pandora for that purpose. If you make a music playlist on youtube, you'll get a commercial interruption on every song.
A small short story: Veronica stepped into her porsche for her commute back to her flat. Following a long day at work, she had finally been free of the boring and laborious office, leaving behind depression and her melody. There, she had constantly called up for her boss, selling coupons and biting her tongue at each and every caller. She hummed, alone, here in her seat, at something close to somberness. Finally, home. She stepped out from the porsche, and reached into her pockets for her keys to the house. "Booyah," and lurched herself towards the front door. She stepped up, a crack, and something fell from the window up above. "Huh?" It was a small flower-pot she left on her windowsill.. She looked up, and couldn't make it out. "Something is up there, a person? A rat? Some sort of strange bug or something?" She walked to the left and right, hoping to get a hold of whatever energy remained in her soul, tidying herself, she rushed into the flat. "Hello..?" Moans and groans came from the second floor, but she lived a lonely life. No visitors, friends, or heartbreakers nearest. How could another come inside here, if there was anyone, it would be her, her dissapointing self, with no one else. As she slowly creeped up her stairs only 22, "Oh my.." a lone voice emerged. "What? What is wrong, my sweetest, my dear?" "I love when you say that," she muttered. They both looked up, seeing Veronica in a look of shock and horror, staring down at two nude faces laid and strewn out lit by one candle atop her nightstand. It was a woman and a second, both cuddling and curling on her small bed, the only one of the flat; floping and flailing and conducting all manner of movements in and around her small and cloistered house, making a mess here, hysteria there, and all manner of debauchery before Veronica returened here. She wanted to scream.. There was even a small dead rat on the windowsill, as if that had caused the flowerpot's disgrace to the front porch. "Oh, she seems a bit unwell," the first said. "Not quite.." the other replied. Matress cut, sheets strewn, her planks torn, scratched, and barren! Finally; "By St. Nick, what are you two, AHH!!" Veronica said, and then went on, "How dare you," muttering quite fervently, saying "Both of you two, mistresses galore! Get out, before I -I-, I'll do something for both of you to rot forever for this, you disappointing-" Sir Charlie, a tall and stoic man of his 50's, entered, displaying on himself a strange and firm prowess with a characteristic laugh, "Hehe, quite a lot of fun, have we?" He smiled, and then at Veronica states calmly, "Hello, see you're here for some fun too, yea? Just about to get ready." "AHHHH! Get out, you whore and slut, both of you! And take your mustache elsewhere, sir?" "What, we aren't breaking things, well.. we weren't trying to, to say the least" the first said, and pointed down at another flowerpot missing it's shape strewn in several places. "Trying?" Veronica cried aloud. "Yes, well, we just were, erm, beginning, to eh.. " she went on "Start?" Sir Charles states, quite rudely, and was immediately frowned at by all three women. "Just saying.." they continued, so he went towards the back corner, away from them all. The second mistress went on, "Yea, you know, "Erm, it is Sir Charles, mind you, and I am a Count for your information, Miss?" "Miss? Does it matter. There aren't any counts in England, are there?!" she said, and looked at the two woman in her flat for affirmation, but recieved little. "Well, I don't know, but anywho, who are you people and why are you here? This is my place?" There was no response. Sir Charles pulled out his match, then placed a small cigarette case on his trousers, shabbily wearing only his briefs and a shirt, smiling at Veronica and the three. "Well, you seem quite well-read, won't you deduce it?" He'd state, and nod at a bookshelf filled to the brim. "Apologize, before I.." Veronica muttered quite well. Then, another woman entered. "Ms. Veronica, welcome," one of the two said. "Oh great, a third, go join the two ruining my entire evening, you stupid slut!" Veronica states. Ms. Veronica walked with subtle grace and a smile, "Good evening you two," and she gave the other Veronica a firm glare of dismay and wrath. "Charles, I see you've met Claire. A hindarance, to be sure, but we'll try to keep him entertained tonight, if he won't be minding the shorts" the girls giggled at Charles. "And that mustache, it's just too much, isn't it, yes?" Finally, Ms. Veronica gandered down on Veronica, hoping to draw her attention away from her girls and the place. "Hope we won't be keeping you too much company, you must be the tenant, yes? My father owns the place," she said at Veronica. Ms. Veronica smiled, creepily, as if indicating something else entire with that comment to her two younger friends, while Sir Charles smoked in the corner, reading a comic.. "No, no, no." Veronica wanted to scream, but all she could let out was a churl, a small blood-curling howl at her own interior monologue. No word. No utterance, and no speech came out. Why? No words reached her lung, and all stayed within, all her hollow, dissapointing hate, just stayed. Not one word. "Why don't you get out?" Ms. Veronica said, plainly, and stared back at Veronica, while the two mistresses whimpered in glee with their backs turned away, facing the wall. Charles, with a smile, laughed gleefully, as they did such an act. Veronica, waiting, pretended not to care, before finally moving forward and backward, states, "Disappointment." and then laughed and laughed before falling unto her torn up bed without cares or worries.
@Theolovesyou and sadly thats why people like you will never be enlightened by the many great composers ....maybe your young and nieve and someday will come to appreciate it and more classical stuff
Sorry for you, I guess you have no knowledge about classical music? First at all Wagner ist opera or Musikdrama and this Peace is not an opera at all! And compare plesae to Overtures of Mozart, STrauss, Puccini, Verdi etc Thank You!

This opening melody invigorates the human soul
Midsummer Nights dream---the ballet and play are a MASTERPIECEE
Listening to this for my music appreciation class. Am amazed that it was written when Mendelssohn was just seventeen years old. It seems to be quite an intricate piece!
Really? 17...!? At 17 I was a fool...a total pleb. 17....my mind can hardly comprehend that a 17 year old could compose this...
I love the way at 6.38 & 9.54 you feel it's about to finish, and yet you still want more. Then he gives it to you!
I was dancing to this at my very first dance recital, It’s still my favorite of my recitals and I still have the dress I wore that day
17 folks 17!!!!!!!!!!!! He was my age when he wrote this!!!!!
Don't forget, though, he was about 100 years old when he was born. He had to be.
I bet he was except he was writing this not jerking off wearing skinny jeans lmfao unlike you
Let's not forget he was doing music at a young age. So, he was probably experimenting in music before he made this peice. He was around 12 when he started composing, his first peice was published at 13 and his first symphony at 15.
@@elionaidgranados1005 :0
mendelsshon's divine sparks, ecstatic, incomparable, from far away, intimations of immortality.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!
Playing this in orchestra. Trombone section has 250 measures of rest. Like a boss.
Lol, If people ever pay for new american composers, I think I'd have some awesome shit for trombone.
But I never had the luxury of a full orchestra at my disposal like Mendelssohn :P
Trombones not scored in the original, Just trumpets, horns and ophicleide.
Never have I heard a composition be so well composed, if you know what I mean. There is not a single misplaced note by a single instrument throughout over 10 minute of continuous musical paradise. And never before has a donkey sounded so great! And to actually be able to incorporate that without it feeling totally random is a stroke of genius all by itself. There's no doubt in my mind: Mendelssohn is one of the most underestimated composers ever.
I never even recognised the donkey braying until I read your comment!
AND he was only 16 when he wrote the overture.
I agree. The best overture was composed by him. Fingal's cave. One of the best simphonies I heard is the Italian. A genius!
Agree
Felix Mendelssohn was on the same musical level as Mozart. Don't forget that Fanny Mendelssohn, his sister, was also a music composer.
Underrated genius!!!!!!
Wunderschönes Gemälde/Bild dazu ausgesucht!
Ich hatte den gesamten Sommernachtstraum, zenisch in den 80igern Jahren im Metropol Theater gesehen! War gut inziniert!
My favorite Shakespeare play of all time
Mendelssohn is surrounded by the powerful mental barrier that can not enter anything .
The power of tremendous music emanates from the barrier .
This work is enthereal and effulgent .
My heart wavered with emotion .
This is beautiful
food for the soul. Listened to nothing but classical from 0-12 years ,then The Beatles came on the scene, followed by rock+ roll, jazz, ska +reggae,blues + soul and all sorts of stuff in between.Love it all, but the complexity and beauty of classical compositions especially those of Mozart,Beethoven and Mendelssohn have stood the test of time and I never tire of listening to them-especially when performed by masters of their art,as here.
Beautiful , Amazing ,profound , expressive , genius . Shakespeare would be pround
Ever wonder what pure beauty looked like? This is it.

Magnificent piece! Superb orchestration! Bravo!
Maestro Abbado ,con la tua umiltà e umanità ci hai deliziato con interpretazione sublime Grazie
Beautiful piece, perfectly balanced orchestration, and as always so delicately conducted Abbado.
This is the inspiration for Gilbert & Sullivan's Iolanthe, which was first illuminated at the Savoy Theatre by the electric light on 25th November 1882.
By far the best
