	FACILITY & MASTERY: FELIX MENDELSSOHN by Jeffrey Dane
		If Felix Mendelssohn's position in the history of music is not as astral as that of other composers, he's still a central figure of his era and occupies an important place in the palace of his predecessors and peers.
		If Mendelssohn was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he, unlike most children of the wealthy, made it a golden opportunity where posterity benefitted by his diligence and creativity.
		Though Felix was happily married and had five children, so strong was the bond between him and his sister that her sudden, unexpected death on May 14, 1847 signalled the beginning of the end for him: totally overwhelmed by the loss, he outlived her by only six months.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Mendelssohn Biography
		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.
		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 was a child prodigy on the order of Mozart, and actually reached musical maturity earlier than the latter, writing masterpieces such as the Octet for strings at age sixteen and the Overture to a Midsummer Night's Dream at age seventeen.

	Felix Mendelssohn
		Mendelssohn was one of the best loved composers of the 19th century, particularly in Victorian England, and he was certainly the most successful.
		His career showed none of the reverses, disappointments and delays that were the rule for the other great Romantic composers; indeed, it was the overwork and exhaustion to meet the demands for his performances and compositions that led to his early death at the age of 38.
		Mendelssohn won a short hiatus from his accumulating duties when he took a leave of absence from his post at the Gewandhaus during the 1844-45 season.

		But the personal influence of MENDELSSOHN on the progress of music, especially in England, cannot be replaced; and that we shall never see him, hear him, or again partake in the enthusiasm which he excited, is our deepest subject of regret.
		The beauty of the exhibition, and, indeed, of the numerous demonstrations made by MENDELSSOHN in honour of BACH, was that he announced himself the disciple of a master contemned by ignorance and prejudice.
		We lament more that MENDELSSOHN’S presence, example, opinion, and delightful execution will now be withdrawn, than at the silence of his muse, charming as that was and is. There was a warmth, a gusto, a geniality, in his extemporaneous effusions, which we may not soon hope to reach.
