Piano Concerto No. 2 in D minor, Op. 40 by Felix Mendelssohn

Mendelssohn completed this concerto in 1837 with the premiere taking place the same year at the Birmingham Festival. The work took approximately 5 months for Mendelssohn to complete, possibly due to the intention for this work to leave a lasting positive impression on the English audience. The concerto was premiered to mixed reviews, but has become a popular Mendelssohn work for concert performance.

The work is comprised of three movements: I. Allegro appassionato II. Adagio. Molto sostenuto III. Finale. Presto scherzando

Rachmaninoff, all the way. Motherfucker could hit a 13th on the piano one handed.

Although, kudos to Mendelssohn for saving and bringing us the works of Bach 🤙🤙
