How many opus numbers did Mendelssohn have?

Mendelssohn himself allocated opus numbers only up to 72 for his published works, with further numbers up to 121 being added posthumously. Moreover, none of Mendelssohn's earlier works including his 13 string symphonies or his operas, had any defined opus numbers.

What did Mendelssohn say about swimming?

He was dissatisfied with the completion of the second, although he was reminded of Schumann's Goethe poem The Evening Song (Jägers Abendlied). The final piece in the series is another Venetian thought, to which Mendelssohn remarked, "With many pedals, and you must not swim too slowly." II., op. 30: 1834-ben jelent meg.
