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unpublished, that examine several aspects of the composer whom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.
