| | Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) |
| | Mendelssohn excelled as a composer in all musical genres except opera, and his gift for writing lyrical melodies was unsurpassed during the Nineteenth Century. | | | Mendelssohn composed 48 Songs Without Words, and he composed them for what was, at the time, a fairly new but growing market: amateur pianists who wanted music that was of good quality, yet not too difficult to play in their own homes. | | | From a young age, Felix Mendelssohn demonstrated a high degree of musical talent, playing both the piano and the violin exceptionally well. |

| | FACILITY & MASTERY: FELIX MENDELSSOHN by Jeffrey Dane |
| | Mendelssohn's work includes the Scottish, Italian and Reformation symphonies, concerti, piano and chamber music, oratorios, songs, and organ pieces. | | | In its classical orientation Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture is as musically descriptive of the sea and its surroundings as anything composed in that century, including Wagner's own Romantic-era overture to The Flying Dutchman 11 years later. | | | Continuing the tradition he created, he performed Bach's cantatas and music by Cherubini (who had encouraged him as a youngster), motets by Palestrina and music by Beethoven. |

| | Felix Mendelssohn - an overview of the classical composer |
| | Mendelssohn toured Europe visiting a number of countries where he sketched musical fragments later to be turned into concert works, which is why a number of his works bear titles suggesting these countries. | | | Felix, born in Hamburg, performed at the piano and composed music from a very early age. | | | Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words for piano were also a novel form and underlined his belief that music need not be programmatic, though publishers were to add suggestive titles to these works. |

| | CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Mendelssohn Biography |
| | Felix was a child prodigy on the order of Mozart, and actually reached musical maturity earlier than the latter, writing masterpieces such as the Octet for strings at age sixteen and the Overture to a Midsummer Night's Dream at age seventeen. | | | If Chopin and Schumann are the Shelly and Keats of Music, then Mendelssohn is perhaps her Wordsworth, with music that is highly sensitive, refined and restrained but still filled with the poetic sensibilities of the age. | | | In fact, Mendelssohn can be considered the first conductor of the modern style and also among the first to use a baton. |

| | It is likely that Felix's motive was not to take credit for her songs, but to encourage her composing in a manner acceptable to their father. | | | Fanny Cäcilie Hensel, née Mendelssohn Bartholdy* (1805-1847), has been long and unjustly overlooked as a serious composer, despite a considerable and impressive output comprising numerous piano pieces, innumerable songs, duets, trios, a cappella choral works, chamber music for different instruments, an overture, an oratorio and several major cantatas. | | | When one actually considers the sheer volume of songs which she composed, it is incredible to imagine that they still remain in obscurity. |
