Symphony No. 4 (Mendelssohn)
The Symphony No. 4 in A major,
Op. 90, commonly known as the Italian, is an orchestral
symphony written by
German composer Felix Mendelssohn.The work has its origins, like the composer's
Scottish Symphony and the orchestral overture
The Hebrides (Fingal's Cave), in the tour of
Europe which occupied Mendelssohn from 1829 to 1831. Its inspiration is the colour and atmosphere of
Italy. The Italian Symphony was completed in 1833, and was first performed in
London at a
Royal Philharmonic Society concert. However, Mendelssohn remained unsatisfied with the composition and even wrote an alternate version of the second, third, and fourth movements. He never published the symphony, which only appeared in print after his death.
