Symphony No. 3 (Mendelssohn)

Encyclopedia : S : SY : SYM : Symphony No. 3 (Mendelssohn)

The Symphony No. 3 in A Minor, op. 56, called the "Scottish" Symphony, was composed by Felix Mendelssohn. It was conceived as early as 1829 during Mendelssohn's trip to Scotland, but was not completed until 1842, and finally was published the following year. The symphony was dedicated to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom.

The work is in four movements:

Andante con moto - Allegro un pocol agitato
Vivace non troppo
Adagio
Allegro vivacissimo - Allegro maestoso assai

The lively second movement is derived from Scottish folk music.
