Fluent, clear guide to a much-maligned composer
Tracing of Significant Composer Raised in upper class surroundings, he and sister Fanny were certainly cultivated in rich musical and literary heritage.So no surprise that Mendelssohn honored his musical heritiage and was fond of Bach especially. Climb to fame capsulated well in this biographical look with specific references given at appropriate times on musical and theological insights.This all culminates late in his life with tension over all his duties both musically and family and they take their toil. Never happy living in Germany, persistently traveling which also for sure took its toll.Creative output continues to reverberate throughtout concert halls. Truly a tightly written account of significant musical contributor.
An Extremely Enjoyable Experience |

Editorial Review Product Description Elijah's arrival led later composers to try to copy Mendelssohn's success with Biblical oratorios of their own, but their attemptsstand out mostly as examples of the simpering excesses of Victorian slush.The saccharine efforts lacked the skill, power, and conviction of Elijah,and now languish in well-deserved obscurity. But Elijah holds thelistener's ear with its music and its meaning. Elijah tells the story of the stern prophet who calledthe misbehaving people of Israel to repentance, and who clung to his resolvethrough a world of troubles until he was carried by a whirlwindinto heaven as a reward. The subject enabled Mendelssohn to write a work that combined his ancestralJudaism with his own Lutheranism and to attempt to build a bridge from the OldCovenant to the New. You can explore how Mendelssohn achieved his inspiring goal in this complete orchestral score from Dover. The usual caveatsfor Dover's reprints of out-of-copyright editions prevail: the scores arenot the most up-to-date, they usually lack English translations, and, because they're fullscores, you will not be able to plunk them down on the music stand in front ofthe average organist and expect her to play it with any ease. That said, the scores are a tremendous bargain for anyone--students, professional musicians, amateur music lovers--with the urge to study acomplete score of a fascinating work. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description Mendelssohn gained fame as a conductor, and as the organizer of many music festivals in Germany and in England where he was always enthusiastically welcomed. Unlike some composers who only performed their own work, Mendelssohn had a passion for presenting the best music of all periods. He was also very generous in helping younger composers by playing their work. His weakness was being unable to say no to the many requests he received for performances. He was a perfectionist who devoted his energy to presenting the highest possible level of musical perfection. As his fame spread, he had little time left for his own compositions. Mendelssohn died at the age of 38, essentially from |
