The life and works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy are enjoying a
considerable resurgence of interest. This volume presents the most
recent trends in Mendelssohn research, examining three broad
categories - reception history, historical and critical essays, and
case studies of particular compositions. Much of the book depends
on a wealth of primary nineteenth-century documents, including
little-known autograph manuscripts, letters and sketches of the
composer. Four studies consider various facets of Mendelssohn
reception in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Friedhelm
Krummacher considers the abiding popularity of Mendelssohn's music
in England, while Peter Ward Jones reviews Mendelssohn's business
dealings with English publishers; Donald Mintz examines the
composer's posthumous reputation from the perspective of the
revolutionary agenda of mid-nineteenth-century Germany; and
Lawrence Kramer considers dynamic multiple layers of meaning in the
Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage Overture and The First
Walpurgisnight. Four essays, by Judith Silber Ballan, J. Rigbie
Turner, Wm. A. Little, and David Brodbeck, treat Mendelssohn's
relationships with A. B. Marx, E. Devrient, Franz Liszt, and
Frederick William IV. Finally, two studies by R. Larry Todd and
Christa Jost focus on two major piano works, the Preludes and
Fugues op. 35 and the Variations serieuses op. 54.
