Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Piano Concerto No. 1 (Mendelssohn). Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20020825045029/http://www.mmguide.musicmatch.com:80/artist/artist.cgi?ARTISTID=1088820&TMPL=LONG to http://www.mmguide.musicmatch.com/artist/artist.cgi?ARTISTID=1088820&TMPL=LONG

Unsupported Claims

This quote:

...the piano, which is out of its mind, has no intention of paying him any heed either. He sends for holy water and sprinkles the keyboard with it, but in vain—proof that it wasn't witchcraft but merely the natural result of thirty performances of one concerto. They take the keyboard out of the instrument—the keys are still moving up and down by themselves—and they throw it into the middle of the courtyard next to the warehouse. There M. Erard, now in a fury, has it chopped up with an axe. You think that did it? it made matters worse. Each piece danced, jumped, frisked about separately—on the pavement, between our legs, against the wall, in all directions, until the warehouse locksmith picked up this bedeviled mechanism in one armful and flung it in the fire of his forge, finally putting an end of it...Such a fine instrument!'
