Mendelssohn - Symphony No. 4 "Italian", Movement 4 (Super Mario 64 Soundfont) @ClassicalEntertainmentSystem

Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

While in the third movement we got to see an uncommon sight for a symphony from the Romantic era, a Minuet instead of a Scherzo, now we get something extremely rare for any symphony from any era: a minor key ending to a symphony that had begun in major.
Still, even if it's in A minor instead of the A major that we would expect, the context is far from tragic or melancholic. This Finale is a Saltarello, a fast-paced and, sometimes furiously energetic Italian dance.
