mendelssohn....a second time

i'm not sure what it is going on with my computer, but i just wrote a big blog on this piece, and now it has disppeared!!!!! grrrrr so, maybe it will show up! Heere is the general gist of what was said: This piece seems to be all about extentions and copying the beginnings of phrases. This peice follows pretty much an ABA form, therefore having 3 periods. After the 2 measures at the beginning to establish the base and tempo, the piece flows lyrically without cares, it's first section ending in an exteded PAC. The B section is much different than the A in that it sounds stronger and more defined than A did. Then there is a recapitulation of essentially the same theme, followed by yet another extended out cadence. !I really hope my other entry shows up!!! humph!
