Felix Mendelssohn has long been viewed as one of the most
historically minded composers in western music. This book explores
the conceptions of time, memory and history found in his
instrumental compositions, presenting an intriguing new perspective
on his ever-popular music. Focusing on Mendelssohn's innovative
development of cyclic form, Taylor investigates how the composer
was influenced by the aesthetic and philosophical movements of the
period. This is of key importance not only for reconsideration of
Mendelssohn's work and its position in nineteenth-century culture,
but also more generally concerning the relationship between music,
time and subjectivity. One of very few detailed accounts of
Mendelssohn's music, the study presents a new and provocative
reading of the meaning of the composer's work by connecting it to
wider cultural and philosophical ideas.
