| | The best known of Mendelssohn's concertos must be the Violin Concerto in E minor, the third to make use of the solo violin. | | | Mendelssohn’s concert overtures include the 1826 Overture, A Midsummer Night's Dream, a work in many ways typical of the composer's deftness of touch in its evocation of the fairy world of the play for which he later wrote incidental music. | | | Mendelssohn's music for the theatre includes full incidental music for Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream", written for the new King of Prussia and first used at Potsdam in 1843, preceded by the Overture written in 1826. |

| | 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. |

| | The Internet Piano Page - Felix Mendelssohn - Biography |
| | Felix Mendelssohn was one of the interesting anomalies of classical music; a stunningly talented composer who never went through the agonizing financial struggles and work-related travails that beset so many of his contemporaries and predecessors. | | | Many critics of Mendelssohn claim that his powers of inspired melody and sparkling orchestration were at their height when he was a teenager, and declined steadily throughout the duration of his career. | | | In the 80-odd years between Bach's death and Mendelssohn's revival of Bach's music, the old Baroque master had gone unnoticed, his music almost forgotten entirely. |

| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | 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. |

| | Mendelssohn's many travels also influenced two of his five symphonies, the third in A minor, known as the "Scotch" Symphony, and his popular Symphony no. 4 in A major, known as the "Italian" symphony, which incorporates melodies and dances that Mendelssohn heard while traveling in that country. | | | A master of the more intimate forms of musical compostitions, Schumann is unique in music history as being one of the great composers who concentrated on one musical genre at a time, with the bulk of his earliest compositions being for the piano. | | | At the age of seventeen, he composed an overture based on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which was so successful that some years later he composed more music on the subject, resulting in a suite of pieces to be used in conjunction with productions of the play. |
