In 1845 Felix Mendelssohn was working on 2 movements for a 6th symphony in C-Major (shortly before he begann working on his Elijah oratorion). This is an attempt to complete them in his style and for the first time.
I. Allegro ma non troppo
For the first movement a full score of the first 2 minutes (79 measures) exist and additionally sketches for further passages were included and elaborated here:
m. 81 - 93: transition to the 2nd theme
m. 107 - 116: 2nd theme m. 146 - 150 ending of the exposition
m. 152 - 165: beginning of the development
m. 196 - 204: canonic passage 11:57
II. Andante cantabile
The very melodious sketches for the first 2:15 minutes were worked out to a second movement with variations on the main theme and a more passionate middle part.Â
This publication includes the score and parts and is addressed to any conductors and orchestras willing to play unknown, excellent music by Mendelssohn put in a context true to his idiom. Total duration: 23 min.Â
