| | Felix visited his illustrious friend for several weeks at a time, and hour by hour he played to him while the old man listened enraptured to his music. | | | Mendelssohn assigned the theory classes to Hauptmann and Richter, violin to David, and organ to Becker. | | | Mendelssohn was, later, fully compensated by his nomination as director of the Gewandhaus concerts in Leipzig, an event which resulted in Leipsic becoming soon the musical center of Germany. |

| | Mendelssohn Bartholdy be requested to compose a Symphony, an Overture, and a Vocal Piece for the Society, for which he be offered the sum of one hundred guineas’: the Society asked for exclusive rights for two years. | | | Felix’s teacher Carl Zelter also heard these home performances (there must have been several) and gave his views, and tactful criticism, on what he called the ‘latest symphonies&;; despite supporting the superiority of ‘instrumental music without titles’, he nonetheless could not resist suggesting a picturesque programme for the Trumpet Overture. | | | A sketch survives showing some of Mendelssohn’s first versions of contrapuntal passages written on two staves which were used in the first version of the overture. |

| | We listened to a performance of the Mendelssohn type by the Neue Orchester conducted by Christoph Spering in which some arias were skipped and the oboes are replaced by clarinets. | | | Furthermore, while Bach's original uses an organ, the Mendelssohn versions uses a piano to accompany the recitatives. | | | The Matthaus Passion has three main vocal parties: a narrator that sings the lines from the bible, a singer that recites the parts of Christ and a mixed choir that represents the voice of the people. |
