The Klimt Quartet, among the protagonists of this Festival, introduces us to one of Mendelssohn’s first masterpieces. The composer was still 15 years old when he finished writing the Third Piano Quartet. Mendelssohn himself tells us that a few months after the composition of the Quartet, it was performed at the Paris Conservatory with performers including Luigi Cherubini and the first violin of the Opéra, who after the performance limited himself, speechless, to embracing the sixteen-year-old genius.
