	Carl Friedrich Zelter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carl Friedrich Zelter (11 November 1758 – 15 May 1832) was a German composer, conductor and teacher of music.
		Zelter became friendly with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and his works include settings of Goethe's poems.
		Mendelssohn was perhaps Zelter's favourite pupil and Zelter wrote to Goethe boasting of the 12-year old's abilities and adding 'wouldn't it be amazing if a Jew-boy [Judensohn] could become an artist?' Zelter communicated his strong love of the music of Bach to Mendelssohn, one consequence of which was the latter's 1829 revival of J.

		By eighteen he had already reached a degree of mastery unusual in the history of music, and had composed his Octet for Strings, and the overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream, both of which are now considered masterpieces of their genre.
		Zelter ultimately gave Mendelssohn use of the Akademie musicians for the historic Bach revival for which Mendelssohn was later responsible.
		At 12, Felix was taken to Weimar by Zelter to visit his friend Goethe, 60 years the boy's senior and already a cultural icon.

		When Fasch’s pupil and assistant conductor Carl Friedrich Zelter (1758-1832) definitely took over, his first remarkable undertaking was the performance of Mozart’s Requiem, the first in Berlin, at the memorial concert for his teacher in October 1800.
		After Zelter’s death his heirs were greatly confused about the question which manuscripts belonged to him privately and which were the property of the Sing-Akademie.
		Friedrich Welter, who had spent some time compiling a catalogue as librarian in the 30s, made a general reconstruction of the archive’s possessions for the jubilee book, using the notes that he had kept.

		Although Mendelssohn studied both violin and piano, his most important early studies were those with Friedrich Zelter, director of the Berlin Singakademie, who gave both Mendelssohn children a strict regimen of figured bass, counterpoint, canon, fugue, and four-part choral writing.
		Zelter had studied with students of J.S. Bach, and thus many of the examples he chose for the children's theoretical studies came from the works of Bach.
		In working with Zelter and attending the rehearsals of the Singakademie, Mendelssohn and his sister heard the instrumental works of Bach and Handel (at a time when few were performing these works).

	Emerson String Quartet - Mendelssohn Complete Recordings insights
		According to the composer Carl Reinecke, the young Mendelssohn was encouraged by Zelter to emulate the form of Haydn's and Mozart's quartets.
		Indeed, it is not difficult to discover throughout Mendelssohn's chamber music an overarching concern for formal balance and clarity, and in his propensity for symmetrical phrase structures further evidence of a classicizing bent.
		Left unpublished until 1879, it is a student work executed under Zelter's conservative aegis and, not surprisingly, betrays Classical influences - in the first movement, a Mozartian warmth and lyricism, and in the third-movement minuet, compact phrases impelled by upbeats reminiscent of Haydn's minuets.

		Felix met Carl Friedrich Zelter in 1819 when he auditioned for Berlin's Singakademie chorus.
		Zelter was to become Mendelssohn's leading music instructor during his remaining youth.
		This spawned an episode of great productivity for Mendelssohn who wrote pieces like the String Quartet in E Minor and his Second Piano Concerto during the month of May. By 1840, Mendelssohn's greatness as a composer and conductor was recognized throughout Europe and he was constantly in demand to lead festivals and compose commissioned works.

		Singakademie choir; however, Zelter felt that the works were too difficult to perform and not accessible to the general public.
		With a choir of 158 singers, a full-sized Romantic orchestra, and significant cuts to the score, the performance did not attempt to recreate a baroque-style performance of the work (as it would have been heard by Bach’s contemporaries); but nonetheless, it was enthusiastically received.
		I sat with the score next to the orchestra so that I could observe both my folks [performers] and the public together.” And despite Zelter’s original doubts about the success of public performances of Bach’s works, two additional performances were scheduled within the next month, each before a capacity crowd.

		Although Mendelssohn’s musical education was supervised by Zelter, an equally formative figure on the young musician was Carl Maria von Weber.
		By comparison to the conservative Zelter, Weber seemed a daring and modern figure, and he was mightily idolised by the adolescent Felix.

	Long-lost estate of J.S. Bach's son discovered in Kyiv (08/15/99)
		In order to protect it from being destroyed during the war, the Sing-Akademie's archive, with one of the world's most important collections of 18th century music, including significant and largely unique Bach family materials, had been moved from Berlin to Ullersdorf Castle, Silesia, in 1943.
