Who Did It Best – Mendelssohn or Schumann?

Bringing You Purrfect Music Every Day!

Frenemies… That is perhaps how one could possibly describe Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann’s relationship. Close friends at times, inspired by each other compositions and performances; yet, there outstanding talents at times pitted one against the other.

Despite that, they respected what each other provided to the music world. So, let’s look at some of their pieces and see if you think one outshone the other… Or, perhaps it just depends on what piece you are listening too.

Enjoy!

Every day is a new experience, we face new challenges, and we learn new ways to overcome. And that is why every day I aim to bring something different, with bringing my own songs to the mix, along with some other great artists – from nature, meditation music, chill music, binaural beats, and of course, classical music.

So, whatever mood you are in, I have something for you!

Let us not forget our mascot for the channel – Wolfgang… Whom you may see pop up from time to time. Watch out for him. 
