The Mendelssohn Second, "Lobegesang." Mendelssohn was conductor of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, and a great admirer of Beethoven. It is to a performace by M. that pianists now always perform by memory: he did the Beethoven Fourth from memory, now it's expected of all pianists to do so.The Lobgesang is numbered Second, but was actually Mendelssohn's last symphony, dated 1840. The Scottish is called Third; the Fourth and Fifth (Reformation) were published posthumously.

One land. Two artists. Beethoven. Rammstein. Coincidence? I don't think so.

I've performed this piece this summer in China. Man it was so difficult, but it was also an amazing experience to be apart of. I love Beethoven!!!

Ehhh... I would have to say Richard Wagner was much more of an influence to the metal genre... thoughhhhh Wagner was mostly influenced by Beethoven sooo I guess they're one in the same. All I'm saying is that Wagner's compositions were more similar to the "Metal" of his era.

Huh? I never said that. Damn Youtube makes it hard to keep track of conversations, but if I remember the context correctly, someone said the Mozart Requiem used voices and I pointed out that a Requiem is a mass, not a symphony, and that all masses use voices. Most symphonies do not use voices: Beethoven's 9th was the first. I can't think of another one until the Mahler 2nd.
