Sebastian Hensel (1830-98), nephew of the composer, virtuoso
pianist and conductor Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47), originally
intended this work to be 'not only of the family but for the
family', drawing on their letters and diaries. Persuaded by friends
to publish his narrative in 1879, Hensel in particular provides a
first-hand insight into the lives of his uncle, lionized by the
music-loving public of his day, and Felix's beloved sister Fanny
(1805-47), herself a talented composer and pianist. Translated from
the German revised second edition by Felix's close friend, diplomat
Carl Klingemann (1798-1862), this 1881 two-volume collection made
available for the first time in English a great deal of valuable
source material. Covering the period 1729-1835, Volume 1 charts the
family's history from the birth of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn to
the death of his son, banker Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who was
the father of Felix.
