Event Description

At twelve years old, the young Gioacchino Rossini and, later, the young Felix Mendelssohn were clearly destined for places in the musical firmament. Genius abounds in these two sprightly youthful works: Rossini's Sonata for strings in C and Mendelssohn's Sinfonia No. 7 are clear evidence of what was to come.
