Summary: "Mendelssohn & Mahler Symphonies no. 4" Mendelssohn's Fourth symphony results from Mendelssohn's European travels in the late 1820's, which also gave us his Scottish Symphony. Completed in Berlin, the symphony was first performed in London in 1833 and - from what we can read - didn't completely please Mendelssohn. He planned to do complete rewrites of several of its movements but - thank Goodness - he never got around to it! Mahler's early symphonies all find their inspiration from the many texts of Des Knaben Wunderhorn. Details at our archive page @ https://archive.org/details/pcast156
