THE sights and sounds of Italy, which country
Mendelssohn visited when he was twenty-one, inspired this Symphony. It has four Movements.
First we have a quick and active Movement, full of youthful joy.
Next follows a rather slow, steadily-movmg piece, often called 'The Pilgrim's March, though Mendelssohn never gave it that name.
The Third Movement is a graceful light Minuet. The Finale was, like the First Movement, written in Rome. It perhaps represents the spirit of the Mid-Lent Carnival which Mendelssohn saw when he was there. At any rate, its chief tunes are all typical lively Italian dance-tunes.
