Mendelssohn
s overture drew its
inspiration from two
poems by Goethe which had
already inspired Ludwig
van Beethoven to write a
choral work on them with
orchestral accompaniment.
The larger part of the
work on this piece must
have been carried out in
the summer of 1828. The
first public performance
took place in Berlin on 1
December 1832. The
revised version of the
work was first performed
in Leipzig on 20 April
1834. Its ranking as No.
3 of the concert
overtures was laid down
when the score was first
printed in 1835
(Breitkopf &
Hartel).(Ralf Wehner in
the Study Edition of the
Mendelssohn Work
Catalogue).
