Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last of the Classicists, first of the Romanticists and a bridge uniting both, the life of Felix Mendelssohn spans the most fascinating and crowded period in all music. He was eighteen when Beethoven died, yet he lived to see the rising stars of Schumann and Wagner outshine his own in brilliant luminosity. Despite the shielded existence of a millionaire's son, Mendelssohn's life was not the one of unsullied happiness legendry would have us believe. He suffered to an extraordinary extent from the austerity of his father's domination until the age of twenty-five; he waged a twenty years' war with Berlin, a feud that was half imaginary, half real, but viable enough to produce a necrosis on his soaring soul; he reached vainly into the mirage which was never to grant him the eagerly sought perfect libretto, while Heine who gave Wagner the story of "Flying Dutchman" was at his elbow; he lapsed into the error of self-righteousness. Yet withal a passionate, loveable genius whose story embraces the art, intrigue and politics of Germany, France and England in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Book excerpt: "It is many years since any book has been available on the subject of Mendelssohn's "Elijah." This is surprising because it is still one of the most popular of choral works, and conductors, performers and listeners always want to deepen their understanding of works by knowing the circumstances surrounding their creation. Jack Werner's book recounts in detail the gradual process of "Elijah's" composition, the preparations for the first performance in Birmingham, the revision of the work by Mendelssohn, and the first London performance. There is an extensive analysis of the work, together with a complete text. Two appendices contain an article on the "Mendelssohn Cadence" and a complete list of all the recordings which have ever been made. This book is illustrated with a number of reproductions of scenes and documents relating to the subject matter, and there are numerous musical examples." --Dust jacket.

Download or read book The Genius written by Eliyahu Stern and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-08 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elijah ben Solomon, the "Genius of Vilna,” was perhaps the best-known and most understudied figure in modern Jewish history. This book offers a new narrative of Jewish modernity based on Elijah's life and influence. While the experience of Jews in modernity has often been described as a process of Western European secularization—with Jews becoming citizens of Western nation-states, congregants of reformed synagogues, and assimilated members of society—Stern uses Elijah’s story to highlight a different theory of modernization for European life. Religious movements such as Hasidism and anti-secular institutions such as the yeshiva emerged from the same democratization of knowledge and privatization of religion that gave rise to secular and universal movements and institutions. Claimed by traditionalists, enlighteners, Zionists, and the Orthodox, Elijah’s genius and its afterlife capture an all-embracing interpretation of the modern Jewish experience. Through the story of the “Vilna Gaon,” Stern presents a new model for understanding modern Jewish history and more generally the place of traditionalism and religious radicalism in modern Western life and thought.
Download or read book Mendelssohn Essays written by R. Larry Todd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When R. Larry Todd’s biography, Mendelssohn: A Life in Music, appeared in 2003, it won acclaim from several critics as a definitive biography. In researching Mendelssohn’s life over the last two and a half decades, Todd uncovered much new information about the composer and his music, his family and his peers, and his complex reception history. Now, as we approach the 2009 bicentenary of Mendelssohn’s birth, the author has chosen and compiled fifteen essays written between 1980 and 2005, including five previously unpublished, that examine several aspects of the composer whom Goethe and Heine likened to a second Mozart. Mendelssohn Essays explores Mendelssohn’s precocity, his musical impressions of British culture, the role of the visual in his music, his compositional response to Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, and incomplete drafts from his musical estate of three instrumental works. In addition, a group of three essays focuses on the music of Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny Hensel, perhaps the most gifted woman composer of the century, and a significant, complex figure in the formation of the Mendelssohnian style.
