In this video, Matthew King explains why Mendelssohn is a great composer, despite the criticisms that his music is conventional and lacking in intensity. Matthew reads a comment by Charles Rosen about the Songs without Words and suggests that there is a lingering influence of Wagner even in current attitudes towards Mendelssohn's music. The E minor Song without Words Op. 62, no. 3 is played and discussed.
