    Fun fact: he wrote this when he was 12

    I love Mendelssohn's youthful work. It has a tremendous, joyous energy about it that I don't think he fully maintained as he got older.
    Of course, Mendelssohn near the end of his life produced such masterpieces as the Sixth String Quartet -- eschewing all pretenses of even trying to be happy -- but my favorite pieces by Mendelssohn generally come earlier in his life.

      What do you mean "'but' in a positive way"? That was implied, since you said it was Bach-y

    Felix Mendelssohn’s seventh symphony closely follows the sixth, although the initial Allegro is more contained. It is a song of immense grace and delicacy that only a genius could composed. The Andante that follows is slower and more reflective but with a sublime harmony that deeply delights us when we hear it. Menuetto is more impulsive but with an amazing musical structure that wonder us when we hear it. The symphony ends with an irresistible Alegro Molto that is a logical consequence of previous movements. Thanks for this magnificent recording with music by this admirable composer from the Romantic period.

    This one is a big improvement over the first 6. much more direct, and good consistent use of motifs. Felix learned fast! Also of note, the nice effects with the pizzicatos and the sustained notes, first in the basses and cellos and then in the violins. Very good! Along with #10 in b minor this is the best of the 13 string symphonies in my opinion.

    Its interesting to see how well Mendelssohn knew Bachs composing technique already. He admired him all his lifetime long (as almost all composers did :D).
    Mendelssohn had his unique style though. A true german hero and at the same time a cosmopolitan and modern spirit.

    I love the Trio part! It's like Mendelssohn trying to be Beethoven, because it reminds me so much of the Scherzo of the 9th Symphony... Although this was composed at the same time, maybe a little before than the 9th one. So it may be a common aesthetic for both.

    Look at bars 208-211 at 5:05-5:09. Then compare it to Mozart Symphony No. 40 bars 281-284. You can find it at ua-cam.com/video/BfcXoB9y4rc/v-deo.html 5:31-5:37. You'll immediately notice the stealing.

Stealing is the sense of transforming some rhythm or harmonic progression into their own, which I would say Mendelssohn did well here. (To be fair he was 13 yes)
