stood since the earliest days of his childhood in the area of conflict of the highest recognition and wounding malice. A favorable fate had it in the lap of an extremely wealthy family, educated and also thrown. And then he should do, that everything was created in him was developed by staff. Richard Wagner took all the later occasion of Felix Mendelssohn to be glowing jealous, and this was probably - unconscious - one of the sources of his anti-Semitism . Thus the two fields of experience have been appointed, which Felix was suspended. That he belonged to a discriminated minority, got the boy already felt several times painful. The age of ten he had to do, as in Berlin, a prince of the ruling house of Hohenzollern-spat before him as saying Hepp Hepp, Jew boy
. And as a five-year-old Felix had to defend himself and his sister Fanny in
Bad Doberan , the summer resort of the Mendelssohn, before the bullying of street boys who abused the two boys as Jews. was other hand, the family
economically vulnerable: the financial independence was assured. Money was in abundance there. And the family did is also in the center of spiritual enlightenment: she was in a leading position within literary and philosophical traditions in Germany. The grandfather of Felix Mendelssohn
Moses, had been one of the greatest scout. The Uncle Joe again, one was of Moses' sons, then the founder of one of the most important and significant private banks in Germany, which had to first close under the Nazis.
Felix Mendelssohn at the age of 12 years, oil sketch of Carl Joseph Begas (1821) also Felix's father Abraham had his career - like his brother Joseph - started in the banking industry, specifically in Paris. On the way there he stopped in Frankfurt at Goethe
. Who asked not only to the Father, from Moses Mendelssohn to, but also turned to Karl to speak Friedrich Zelter . Zelter was the head of the Berlin Sing-Akademie. The Mendelssohn clan was by Sara Levy,
one of the aunts of Felix's mother, Leah, born Salomon, long associated with Zelter. Levy and Sarah herself was highly musical. None other than
Wilhelm Friedemann Bach , which, as they say sometimes the most brilliant Bach's son, had studied music and was his favorite student had been. The connection Mendelssohn-Bach-Zelter was thus given. When Goethe but also heard that Abraham, the father of Felix, had recently been to Schiller, in order to give Zeltersche compositions, he was very keen of hearing. Reported again Abraham his hand in a letter to Zelter. So the father had caused the composer Mendelssohn European intellectual history is not unimportant friendship between Goethe and Zelter. No wonder that Abraham could it be, the twelve year-old Felix - whose genius was clear to all involved - 1821 Goethe also provide a profit stay in his house to house. From these years date the two piano quartets, which are formed soon after that time in Weimar.
The Piano Quartet No. 2, Opus 2, in F minor
has a noble, very hymn-like first theme in the strings, followed by a short Klaviereinwurt, the ancient sequencing notice. Both strings and piano, go together well, until the piano introduces the second theme, which is brighter than its predecessor. Everything about this set is extremely balanced. The Adagio - as the second set - starts like a spring song of Mozart. Everything is flowing, as the strings are broken chords on the piano, it is the piano, which provides here for the progressive movement.

The third movement, Intermezzo is restrained, it seems a way to do lost above, but maintains a steady, quiet and tender moment. A steady flow is then in the last movement, Allegro molto vivace to hear. In the course of the movement occurs on a lovely layout issues, and the rich strings, the theme continues as it were. The two themes of this movement complement each other directly, the first to go, the second just as clear downward again. Much more mature than this op 2 affects the
Piano Quartet No. 1 op 1 in C minor
. The cello brings out the depth here, the first theme, which is immediately slowed down and attaches to any altitude flight, despite the dance-like syncopation in the strings. The second topic will be introduced by the cello, but is lighter and dance. Quite dark then this will Adagio. Although it is in 3/4-time, it is restrained. The following third movement Scherzo is quite tender and has a little dance. Maggiore The part that takes the place of the trio is, unusually, much longer than the actual Scherzo. There appears to be a strong tranquilizer, and the violin is bright out here. Allegro moderato is overwritten, the fourth sentence, and he is moderate, fits in the character of his Vargänger. The second theme is the ancient times to the Baroque harmonies reminiscent of the piano.
While Mendelssohn's time in Munich in the summer of 1830 - that is, during its large, multi-annual European educational journey - created for his friend Heinrich Baermann
the two Concert pieces for clarinet, basset horn and piano. Both works play with the beautiful changing colors of the wind sound, the basset horn is nothing more than an alto clarinet. They both are very short and consist of three sets. In
Concert Piece No. 1, Op 113 counted as , is particularly striking in the second set, as the winds are parallel. An elegiac triple time characteristic of this set, can not pay the popularity of what could be the traditionally expected in connection with the Swiss Country to be brought wind instruments well. Mysterious begins the third movement, Presto. This mood is but dropped, and then fall gay characters on the grinder. This movement is in triple time, the end is like a last dance.
Little Man in a contemporary representation
The second concert piece for clarinet, basset horn and piano, Op 114, also works with the sounds of the wind, again towards the end of leveling. Tantalizing, because long stretches without piano accompaniment, the second sentence. The piano does here very rarely supportive. Very ländler way then finally the last movement, Allegretto Graziosa. The partners submit to the melodic figures to really, before the issue wraps.
The Piano Quartet No. 3 is in B minor, Mendelssohn's Op
and is also third It was built in 1822 and is the work of a thirteen-year-olds. It is dedicated to Goethe, a year earlier, Felix visits the poet. Serious and gloomy is the beginning of the first theme in the opening Allegro molto. After a heated via line follows the second subject, both topics are presented by the piano. This second theme has the character of a light spring song. What then would follow as the execution of the sonata, appears in this sentence as a kind of middle section which stands out in more ways, particularly in the harmonic whitening, from the framing parts of the exposure and the final recapitulation, rather than to connect everything. In the recapitulation is the endlessly repeated theme on the piano, which comes from the model of the harp.
The second movement, the Andante is introduced again by the piano, the strings follow only when the issue is completed. This scheme is maintained for much of the sentence, which he acted as a singing without words, the piano would have the vocal part and assist the strings engage the manner of a recitative at the end of phrases. Very often wrote Mendelssohn, the composer of songs without words, in this way, but in the movement progresses, the three strings will each own thematic and solo work.
Mendelssohn to Goethe
A kind of perpetual motion is the scherzo, the third set. A descending motif, specifically: a gradual descending scale is the thematic basis, which rings constantly, and actually plays around is. The extended finale - Allegra vivace - impressive proof of the rank weight of the Quartet. About excited tremolo strings with the piano in front of his subject, and later the strings then play a second one. Following is the recapitulation, which follows in turn a coda. is very short for the
Nocturno Wind Instruments in C major
: it has only two sentences. The wind instruments indicates that the composition takes the genre of outdoor music, which was already served by Mozart so often. Horns calls initiate the quiet first movement. Gradually, the color of the lighter instruments, and indeed the beauty of this record in change and transition in moving the tone is. Devastating then follows the start of the second set, which spoke out to dance-developed character. This wind writing is just before the manuscript, it is found again, so that neither the basic biography of Mendelssohn
Eric Werner record nor the relevant lexicons the work. The Quintet for 2 violins, 2 violas and cello in A major, Op 18
dates from 1826, with the exception of the intermezzo, the was nachkomponiert 1832nd The first movement, Allegra con moto expected, very classic, if it were a piece by Haydn. A clear first subject begins the sentence. About after a line in which notice the bouncing cello theme, followed by a rising, affirming, slightly vorwärtsdrängendes second subject. Only in afterthought, it calms down. The implementation of this sentence blurs somewhat. Striking here is the rich thematic work, before the recapitulation reintroduces the quiet first topic.
Goethe, often asked to root directory entries, let them in old age by his clerk John make in calligraphy but at least they signed by hand. Here is a sheet for the young composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
Around 16,000 records contains the world's largest online detection tool for regular books and pedigree fragments by the Institute in Germanic the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, was built in the past nine years. These autograph books as of the early modern period to the 19th Century, individuals were common, reflect networks of relationships and of many other reasons are valuable research sources. The extended intermezzo, which was nachkomponiert, is the center of the work and is dedicated to the memory of a close friend of Felix Mendelssohn dedicated. This replaces an earlier interlude slow movement. It starts almost popular to be more serious then.
