Book Description
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 The author examined more than 8000 unpublished letters written by or to the composer.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 In the analytical chapters the author, a noted composer and musicologist, discusses some of the 200 unpublished compositions and most of the published works of the master.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.
