Letters of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
Reprint of the original, first published in 1863.
Goethe and Mendelssohn, 1821-1831
A notable book in European nineteenth-century intellectual history, this was an account of the relationship between the young Mendelssohn and the aged Goethe, supported by a collection of nearly 40 Mendelssohn letters providing a first-hand account of that relationship as well as other aspects of the composer's life and interests. Of particular interest to students of music are the composer's letters appended to the text. The author, Dr. Karl Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, was the son of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
The Mendelssohn Family (1729–1847)
Sebastian Hensel (1830–98), nephew of the composer, virtuoso pianist and conductor Felix Mendelssohn (1809–47), originally intended this work to be 'not only of the family but for the family', drawing on their letters and diaries. Persuaded by friends to publish his narrative in 1879, Hensel in particular provides a first-hand insight into the lives of his uncle, lionized by the music-loving public of his day, and Felix's beloved sister Fanny (1805–47), herself a talented composer and pianist. Translated from the German revised second edition by Felix's close friend, diplomat Carl Klingemann (1798–1862), this 1881 two-volume collection made available for the first time in English a great deal of valuable source material. Covering the period 1729–1835, Volume 1 charts the family's history from the birth of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn to the death of his son, banker Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who was the father of Felix.
