Wolff, Hellmuth Christian/ Drew, Lucas
Wolff, Hellmuth Christian

Detailed Instrumentation: String Orchestra (8.8.[3-3].5.5 in set)
Duration: 22
Description:

This is the eighth among thirteen string symphonies written between 1821 and 1823, when Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was twelve to fourteen years old. Like the other twelve, it was written as a tribute to early Classical symphonies by composers such as Haydn, J.C. Bach, C.P.E. Bach, and Mozart, a feature much more obvious in the first six as they were more imitative. The second grouping, starting with Sinfonia No. 7, show more of the composer’s emerging personal style. Mendelssohn composed most of the thirteen works in three movements, but his ninth is an exception to the rule, with four movements instead. While influenced by the style of Haydn, Mendelssohn’s own voice shines through. A string count of 8-8-2/2/2-5-5 are included in this set. Study score.
