If the invective of Nietzsche and Shaw is to be taken as an
endorsement of the lasting quality of an artist, then Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy takes pride of place beside Tennyson and
Brahms in the canon of great nineteenth-century artists.
Mendelssohn Perspectives presents valuable new insights into
Mendelssohn's music, biography and reception. Critically engaging a
wide range of source materials, the volume combines traditional
musical-analytical studies with those that draw on other humanistic
disciplines to shed new light on the composer's life, and on his
contemporary and posthumous reputations. Together, these essays
bring new historical and interpretive dimensions to Mendelssohn
studies. The volume offers essays on Mendelssohn's Jewishness, his
vast correspondence, his music for the stage, and his relationship
with music of the past and future, as well as the compositional
process and handling of form in the music of both Mendelssohn and
his sister, the composer Fanny Hensel. German literature and
aesthetics, gender and race, philosophy and science, and issues of
historicism all come to bear on these new perspectives on
Mendelssohn.
