Download or read book Mendelssohn s Musical Education written by R. Larry Todd and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1983-04-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study and critical edition of Mendelssohn's composition exercise book from his early period of study with Carl Friedrich Zelter (1819-1821). The workbook illustrates in considerable detail the young musician's struggle to master the rules of part writing and principles of counterpoint. Much of Zelter's systematic teaching method is grounded in the eighteenth-century theoretical tradition of Berlin; not surprisingly, the exercises bear the stamp of the music of J. S. Bach, which heavily influenced such Berlin musicians as C. P. E. Bach, C. F. C. Fasch, Marpurg, Kirnberger, Zelter and Mendelssohn. There is little doubt that the historicist attitude of the mature Mendelssohn - as seen in his efforts to revive the works of Bach and Handel and in his propensity toward strict contrapuntal techniques in his own music - was conditioned by these studies with Zelter. The publication of the workbook sheds new light on the early development of one ofthe most important nineteenth-century composers who, though affected by the new wave of romanticism that swept over Europe, never lost his respect for the past. No less important, the manuscript includes several previously unpublished pieces which rank among Mendelssohn's earliest compositions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1830s and 1840s the remarkably versatile composer-pianist-organist-conductor Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy stood at the forefront of German and English musical life. Bringing together previously unpublished essays by historians and musicologists, reflections on Mendelssohn written by his contemporaries, the composer's own letters, and early critical reviews of his music, this volume explores various facets of Mendelssohn's music, his social and intellectual circles, and his career. The essays in Part I cover the nature of a Jewish identity in Mendelssohn's music (Leon Botstein); his relationship to the Berlin Singakademie (William A. Little); the role of his sister Fanny Hensel, herself a child prodigy and accomplished composer (Nancy Reich); Mendelssohn's compositional craft in the Italian Symphony and selected concert overtures (Claudio Spies); his oratorio Elijah (Martin Staehelin); his incidental music to Sophocles' Antigone (Michael P. Steinberg); his anthem "Why, O Lord, delay forever?" (David Brodbeck); and an unfinished piano sonata (R. Larry Todd). Part II presents little-known memoirs by such contemporaries as J. C. Lobe, A. B. Marx, Julius Schubring, C. E. Horsley, Max Mller, and Betty Pistor. Mendelssohn's letters are represented in Part III by his correspondence with Wilhelm von Boguslawski and Aloys Fuchs, here translated for the first time. Part IV contains late nineteenth-century critical reviews by Heinrich Heine, Franz Brendel, Friedrich Niecks, Otto Jahn, and Hans von Blow.

Download or read book Mendelssohn written by Eric Werner and published by [New York] : Free Press of Glencoe. This book was released on 1963 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mendelssohn is the only great composer of the last 150 years of whom there does not exist a comprehensive standard biography. The reasons for this strange fact are explained in this book. The author, the first scholar who was granted access to the hitherto closely guarded archives of the Mendelssohn family, worked on the book for over a decade. Mendelssohn has been identified with a certain type of drawing-room romanticism or simply dismissed as a shallow eclectic. The author shows how these prejudices were based either upon ignorance of his great works, his heavily censored correspondence, or even upon certain slogans coined by Richard Wagner, G. B. Shaw, or German racists. The author reveals a totally new image of the man, his personality, his work and his time. The author examined more than 8000 unpublished letters written by or to the composer. In one case he discovered a flagrant forgery of documents concerning Mendelssohn's relationship with Robert Schumann, and there are many other instances where his study of these records uncovers new vistas and destroy old impressions. Some of these letters deal with problems of Judaism and Christianity, the spiritual heritage of grandfather Moses Mendelssohn, and the problems of assimilation in general. In the analytical chapters the author, a noted composer and musicologist, discusses some of the 200 unpublished compositions and most of the published works of the master. He treats the music from a modern point of view, stressing hidden thematic integrations and finesses of form, emphasizing certain highly original conceptions. Finally, the author comes to grips with the concept of "musical romanticism." His views on this subject are radical and they will certainly evoke interest and controversy. The closing chapter is devoted to Mendelssohn's problematic status in the history of music. Covering the life of the composer; the social and genealogical background of his family; the position of German Jewry before the emancipation; Mendelssohn's relations with Goethe, Hegel, Heine, Berlioz, Dickens, Wagner, Chopin, Schumann, and other leading figures of his time, and the influence of his work on later music.
