Sender: Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Felix

Recipient: Moscheles, Ignaz

Letters: 65

Date(s): 28 Nov 1826 - 7 Oct 1847

Location: BC MS Mendelssohn/Letters

Note: The greater number of these letters are very lengthy, in all

they cover upwards of 150 pages, 4to. and 8vo. They were

written during a period of 21 years. The first letter was

penned when Mendelssohn was but 17 years of age, and the last

one less than a month before his death. Mendelssohn was only 38

when he died so these letters illustrate more than half his life

and nearly the whole of his period as a composer.

There are many important and interesting references in these

letters to Mendelssohn's composition's, to his contemporaries,

to the publication of his Works in London, to the conditions of

their publications and to their prices. He refers to Bach,

Handel, Chopin, Mozart, Cherubini, Liszt and many other famour

musicians, as well as Paganini, Jenny Lind and others. He also

describes his famous "Songs without Words", "Overture to A

Midsummer Nights Dream", "Rondo Brilliant" his Oratoria "Paul"

his edition of Handel's "Messiah" and Works etc.

These letters are preserved in the original 4to. volume as

arranged and mounted by Moscheles with his manuscript index and

note.
