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.

Book Synopsis Listening to Mendelssohn by : David Hurwitz
Download or read book Listening to Mendelssohn written by David Hurwitz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest musical prodigy since Mozart (some would say he was even greater), Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847) excelled in everything he did, musical or otherwise, and during his brief life became Europe’s most respected and beloved composer. Yet no musician suffered more drastic swings in his posthumous reputation, and as a result Mendelssohn’s music was obscured by a host of extra-musical factors: changes in taste, the rise of nationalism, anti-Semitism, and contempt for Victorian culture. This “owner’s manual” offers a guide to Mendelssohn’s musical output, major and minor, providing points of entry into a large body of work, much of which remains far too little known. There’s much more to Mendelssohn than the “Italian” Symphony and the “Midsummer Night’s Dream” Overture, and a whole creative world of vivid, expressive, and fantastical music is ready for exploration.

Book Synopsis Mendelssohn and His World by : R. Larry Todd
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.
