Autorenportrait
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (18091847), known primarily for his prolific contributions to music as a composer, pianist, and conductor of the early Romantic period, also left behind a treasure of written correspondence. His literary output, though overshadowed by his musical compositions, provides a window into the intellect and sensibilities of one of the 19th century's most refined artistic minds. Born Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy in Hamburg, Germany, he was part of a notable Jewish family; his grandfather Moses Mendelssohn was a prominent philosopher. Felix was a prodigious talent from a young age, evidencing not only extraordinary musical ability but also a keen intellect and a facility with language. His 'Letters from 1833 to 1847' offer a glimpse into his personal world, articulating his insights on culture, art, and the people he encountered during his extensive travels across Europe. These letters are treasured for their eloquent reflection of the Romantic era's artistic ethos, their intimate tone, and their vivid portrayal of a Europe in flux. They complement Mendelssohn's musical legacy, which includes works such as the 'Hebrides Overture', 'Scottish' and 'Italian' Symphonies, and the incidental music for 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', underscoring his role as a pioneering figure in the cultural landscape of his time.
