In 2003, R. Larry Todd's biography, Mendelssohn: A Life in Music, was published to near universal acclaim. It was immediately hailed as the definitive biography of this important composer. In researching Mendelssohn's life over the last two and a half decades, Todd uncovered much new information about the composer, his family, and his peers. Not all of this material would fit within the confines of a critical biography, so he has presented these findings in academic papers and lectures which themselves have been eagerly followed by students of 19th century music. Now, Todd has gathered these essays-many previously unpublished or enlarged and revised from their original publication-in what is sure to be a standard volume in Mendelssohn studies. Mendelssohn Essays will be eagerly read by all scholars and students of Mendelssohn and 19th century Romantic music.
When R. Larry Todd's biography, Mendelssohn: A Life in Music, appeared in 2003, it won acclaim from several critics as a definitive biography. In researching Mendelssohn's life over the last two and a half decades, Todd uncovered much new information about the composer and his music, his family and his peers, and his complex reception history. Now, as we approach the 2009 bicentenary of Mendelssohn's birth, the author has chosen and compiled fifteen essays written between 1980 and 2005, including five previously unpublished, that examine several aspects of the composer whom Goethe and Heine likened to a second Mozart. Mendelssohn Essays explores Mendelssohn's precocity, his musical impressions of British culture, the role of the visual in his music, his compositional response to Bach's St. Matthew Passion, and incomplete drafts from his musical estate of three instrumental works. In addition, a group of three essays focuses on the music of Mendelssohn's sister Fanny Hensel, perhaps the most gifted woman composer of the century, and a significant, complex figure in the formation of the Mendelssohnian style.
