About "Violin Sonata in F Major, MWV Q26 : Mendelssohn: Violin Sonata in F Major, MWV Q26: I. Allegro vivace" by Anne Sophie Mutter

The opening allegro vivace bursts forth like spring breaking through ice. Mutter attacks Mendelssohn's youthful sonata with radiant energy, her violin a lark ascending. Yet the music's brightness is edged with yearning—a young composer's exuberance shadowed by an awareness of fleeting beauty.
