Mendelssohn

He is my favorite composer.

Any Mendelssohn fans here?

What 'eh' means?

"Eh" is sort of like a "meh" but more negative, when used in a negative manner. :D

There is no real meaning for it. It's like defining "um".

Mendelssohn rocks! I think there are probably quite a few fans on here.

Nico and Evan included :D

One of the very best early romantics IMO.

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Daniel. Not my favorite, but still very good.

Of course i'm a fan of Mendelssohn. I mean, who isn't! He composed a wonderfull string octet (even thinking of it makes me all fuzzy inside) and some grandiose (not an insult, as would normally be the case if *I* were to use such a word :D) symphonies. I'm particularly fond of his use of counterpoint - mmmm, the string octet comes to mind...

Mendelssohn is on a par with Mozart (my idol) in my estimation. I wish I had a dime for every time his music brought tears to my eyes.

I love Mendelssohn's music. He was a Great Genius, perhaps the greatest musical genius ever.

They say Mendel & Son got popular because queen victoria liked his music while in her bath or something.

Who are 'they'?

Idiots?:D

String Quartet No. 2 Op. 13

Absolutely wonderful. If you haven't heard it, you must.

The majority of Mendelssohn's works are Great, not only the string quartets.
