Rosen considers the "Fugue in E minor" (later included in Mendelssohn's Op. 35 for piano) a "masterpiece"; but in the same paragraph calls Mendelssohn "the inventor of religious kitsch in music".
Rosen kalder hans Fuga i e-mol (senere føjet til Mendelssohns opus 35 for klaver) et ”mesterværk”; men i samme afsnit kalder han Mendelssohn ”opfinderen af religiøs kitsch i musik”.
