Revised version

[edit]

The revisions he was working on for this symphony, late in his life, have been edited into performable form and recorded twice now- room for this in the article? They affect mostly matters of orchestration but are not subtle! Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see Greenfield’s opinion on the revised version of the 4th (though I am puzzled by it :) ) ELSchissel (talk) 18:40, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The recording on the main page has the 3rd and 4th movements switched. Asriel (talk) 10:15, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The correct order is now restored on commons. --FordPrefect42 (talk) 11:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Italian' Epithet Mendelssohn's Own?

[edit]

According to John Michael Cooper [1]the epithet 'Italian' is not Mendelssohn's own, he never included this on any of his symphonies nor did he publicly or privately refer to Op.90 as 'Italian'. (Jesse Green (talk) 21:29, 27 November 2009 (UTC))[reply]
