Yehudi Menuhin: Mendelssohn - Violin concerto

[scourgiez]

Mendelssohn's one-sided beef with Liszt is one of the funniest things in romantic composer lore bc yeah you could interpret Liszt just being catty but the thought of him unintentionally pissing Mendelssohn off every single time they interact is too good

[mephistovalse]

It truly is the funniest thing ever…he liked liszt the man, enough to visit him while ill and give him syrups etc…but despised liszt the composer 😭
