Felix Mendelssohn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg on February 3, 1809, the son of a banker, Abraham, who was himself the son of the famous Jewish philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn was also a major factor in the recovery of Mozart's works, and his own music (like that of other composers at the time) showed both Bach's and Mozart's influence. Mendelssohn travelled widely in Europe throughout his life, and a visit to Italy inspired one of his best known works, the Symphony No 4 in A major, known as the Italian, the final version of which was completed in 1834. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Felix_Mendelssohn   (1347 words)

Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) Mendelssohn was truly fortunate to have been born in Hamburg, on February 3, 1809, as the son of Lea Salomon and Abraham Mendelssohn, a wealthy banker. Mendelssohn visited Great Britain ten times during his short lifetime, and he was on close terms with Queen Victoria, who viewed him, not only as a personal friend, but also as one of her favorite composers. Mendelssohn gave much thought to how the academic structure of the conservatory should be arranged, and his resulting division of the curriculum into several distinct learning areas became the model for modern conservatories. www.carolinaclassical.com /mendelssohn/index.html   (2461 words)

CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Mendelssohn Biography Indeed Felix's father Abraham felt more identification as a German than as a Jew, and some of the well mannered conservatism that may not have always served Mendelssohn well as a composer, may possibly be traced to the innate carefulness such a family must subliminally feel given their situation in Germany. Felix Mendelssohn has sometimes been called the "classical romantic." Born in 1809 in the first generation of romantic composers, Mendelssohn's music is the most conservative of the group. In fact, Mendelssohn can be considered the first conductor of the modern style and also among the first to use a baton. www.classicalarchives.com /bios/mendelssohn_bio.html   (1392 words)
