Description
Once again, musicological source studies preparing the publication of the volume in the Leipziger Mendelssohn-Ausgabe have provided in a Major surprise: the London version of June 1842 has survived in a copy of the score. Only with this score can the composer's (first) revision after the first performance in Leipzig be interpreted lucidly. A new light is thus cast on the often played Scottish Symphony which, incidentally, Mendelssohn never called as such.
