Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: Like many before and perhaps even many more after him, the young Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy saw in Italy the country of the greatest joy of living. In his letters that he wrote home to his family in Berlin from Venice, and even more in the ones from Rome, he was full of enthusiasm. It is therefore only natural that the composer soon went about writing a symphony. How far he had got with the symphony during his journey to Italy in the winter of 1830/1831 is not known, as no musical manuscripts have survived from this period. What has survived is the autograph score of the A-major symphony (later to be called the "Italian" symphony), written down from January to April 1833 in Berlin. It was used for the premiere of the symphony on 13 May 1833 and served as the basis for the posthumously published first edition; it transmits the reading by which the symphony has been known until today.It is little known that Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy worked on the symphony again in 1834, revising the movements II to IV, partly with substantial changes. He left out the first movement - he thought that he would have to rewrite it altogether and shied away from doing so. Thus, the second score - which is now held in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz, together with the 1833 autograph - remained unfinished. Additional fragments have survived, which belong to the autograph score of 1833; the composer had taken them out of his autograph during a major revision in March/April 1833 (i.e., before the premiere). German description: Wie viele vor und nach ihm sah der junge Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Italien das Land der grossten Lebensfreude. Von Italien fasziniert, beschaftigte er sich bald mit entsprechenden Symphonie-Planen. Wie weit er allerdings mit der Ausfuhrung wahrend seiner Italienreise kam, weiss man nicht, da keine Aufzeichnungen daruber uberliefert sind. Erhalten ist die Partitur der spater als "Italienische" bezeichneten Symphonie in A-dur, die er vom Januar bis zum April 1833 in Berlin niederschrieb und nach der das Werk in London am 13. Mai 1833 zum erstenmal erklang. Sie ist auch Grundlage der gedruckten Ausgabe geworden, nach der die Symphonie bis heute aufgefuhrt wird. 1834 beschaftigte sich Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy noch einmal mit seinem Werk und schrieb den zweiten bis vierten Satz neu nieder - nun aber mit zum Teil tiefgreifenden Veranderungen, wobei der erste Satz ausgespart blieb. Er glaubte, dass er ihn wohl ganz neu wurde komponieren mussen, und davor war er zuruckgeschreckt. So blieb diese zweite Niederschrift, die sich zusammen mit dem Autograph von 1833 im Besitz der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin-Preussischer Kulturbesitz befindet, unvollendet. Erhalten sind ausserdem aus der Partitur von 1833 einige Bruchstucke, die der Komponist noch vor der Urauffuhrung aus seinem Autograph bei einer Revision im Marz/April 1833 herausgenommen hatte. Die Publikation besteht aus drei Teilen: der vollstandigen Partitur von 1833; den ausgesonderten elf Partitur-Blattern, die nach ihrem heutigen Aufbewahrungsort als "Oxforder Fragmente" bezeichnet werden; der Partitur der Satze 2 bis 4 von 1834. Die Edition ermoglicht einen Einblick in Mendelssohns Kompositionstechnik, lasst Ruckschlusse auf seine asthetischen Anschauungen zu und ist fur Uberlegungen zu seinem musikalischen Stil von grundlegender Bedeutung.

Download or read book Mendelssohn and His World written by R. Larry Todd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-16 with total page 428 pages. 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.

This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was born at Hamburg, on the third of February, 1809. The name to which he was destined to add such lustre, was already high in the annals of fame. Moses Mendelssohn, his grandfather, a great Jewish philosopher, one of the most remarkable men of his time, was the author of profound Metaphysical works, written both in German and Hebrew. To this great power of intellect, Moses Mendelssohn added a purity and dignity of character worthy of the old stoics. The epigraph on the bust of this ancestor of the composer, shows the esteem in which he was held by his contemporaries: "Faithful to the religion of his fathers, as wise as Socrates, like Socrates teaching the immortality of the soul, and like Socrates leaving a name that is immortal." One of Moses Mendelssohn's daughters married Frederick Schlegel, and swerving from the religion in which both had been brought up, both became Roman Catholics. Joseph Mendelssohn, the eldest son of this great old man, was also distinguished for his literary taste, and has left two excellent works of very different characters, one on Dante, the other on the system of a paper currency. In conjunction with his brother, Abraham, he founded the banking-house of Mendelssohn Ñ Company at Berlin, still flourishing under the management of the sons of the original founders, the brothers and cousins of Felix, the subject of this memoir. George Mendelssohn the son of Joseph, was also a distinguished political writer and Professor in the University at Bonn. With such an array of intellectual ancestry, the Mendelssohn of our day came into the world at Hamburg, on the third of February,1809. He was named Felix, and a more appropriate name could not have been found for him, for in character, circumstance and endowment, he was supremely happy. Goethe, speaking of him, said "the boy was born on a lucky day." His first piece of good fortune, was in having not only an excellent virtuous woman for his mother, but a woman who, besides these qualities, possessed extraordinary intellect and had received an education that fitted her to be the mother of children endowed as hers were. She professed the Lutheran creed, in which her children were brought up. Being of a distinguished commercial family and an heiress, her husband added her name of Bartholdy to his own. Mme. Mendelssohn Bartholdy's other children were, Fanny her first-born, whose life is entirely interwoven with that of her brother Felix, and Paul and Rebecca, born some years later.

Download or read book The Soul of the Journey written by Diana Ambache and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brother and sister Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn enjoyed a rare bond: they were intimate companions and theirs was one of the most significant musical relationships of the 19th century. They shared and commented on each other's compositions, each highly appreciative of the other but also offering frank, critical advice. Their travels produced some great music – Felix's best loved works, the Hebrides Overture and the Scottish Symphony, were inspired by his 1829 visit to Scotland, whilst Fanny's innovative piano cycle Das Jahr was a musical response to the tour of Italy she made in 1839–40. Combining letters and sketches with an accompanying narrative describing their journeys, this is a wonderful celebration of the two Mendelssohns and a portrait of Scotland and Italy of the time as seen through the eyes of two of the Romantic movement's most acclaimed composers.
