Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786) stands not only for the new identity
achieved by an 'enlightened' Jewish A(c)lite but also (as this
volume documents for the first time) for a new approach to
'aesthetic education' and music. Mendelssohn himself took piano
lessons from Kirnberger, a pupil of Bach's, while Sara Levy (nA(c)e
Itzig) made her salon into a centre for the cultivation of Bach's
heritage and numerous Berlin Jews took an active part in public
performances even of such works as Handel's AMessiahA and Graun's
ATod JesuA. The patent preference for 'ancient' and
self-referential music in these circles permits the thesis that the
Jewish minority in Berlin was centrally operative in preparing the
ground for the idea of 'absolute music'.
