Quotes

• In 1906, the year before his death, celebrated violinist Joseph Joachim told the guests at a party in his honour:

"The Germans have four violin concertos. The greatest is Beethoven's. The one by Brahms comes close to Beethoven's in its seriousness. Max Bruch wrote the richest and most enchanting of the four. But the dearest of them all, the heart's jewel, is Mendelssohn's."
