Description:
Leipziger Ausgabe der Werke von Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Serie I (Orchesterwerke) Band 6
Gesamtausgabe (Schmidt-Beste, Thomas)
The 'Italian', without ifs and buts
As for the revision of the 'Italian' Symphony, Mendelssohn stopped three-quarters of the way through after the successful London premiere in 1833. He merely re-notated movements 2 to 4 a year later, but without any further performance let alone publication. The London version, however, was printed posthumously in 1851 and paved the way for the work to enter the international concert halls. To continue to regard this earlier version of 1833 as the valid form of the work thus seems quite plausible, since it alone can claim to have been fully conceived, conducted and thus presented to the public by the composer.
