"One of the most gifted and versatile prodigies Mendelssohn stood at the forefront of German music during the 1830s and 40s as conductor pianist organist and above all composer. His musical style fully developed before he was 20 drew upon a variety of influences including the complex chromatic counterpoint of Bach the formal clarity and gracefulness of Mozart and the dramatic power of Beethoven and Weber.<br /> <br /> Mendelssohn's emergence into the first rank of 19th-century German composers coincided with efforts by music historiographers to develop the concept of a Classic-Romantic dialectic in 18th and 19th-century music. To a large degree his music reflects a fundamental tension between Classicism and Romanticism in the generation of German composers after Beethoven. .<br /> <br /> The origins of the Lieder ohne Worte of which Mendelssohn published 36 pieces in six volumes between 1832 and 1845 two more volumes followed posthumously remain couched in mystery. Among his earliest piano lieder was one in E♭ written for Fanny's birthday in 1828 Fanny herself composed numerous examples of the genre; the idea of creating songlike piano pieces may have originated in a game Fanny and Felix played in which they apparently added texts to piano pieces. Then too the critical thought of A.B. Marx who explored in his writings of the 1820s the expressive potential and 'definiteness' of instrumental music was not without impact. Most of the lieder fall into three groups pianistic parallels to the vocal categories of solo songs duets and partsongs. The meaning of the new genre perplexed Mendelssohn's contemporaries. Schumann suggested that the composer had produced texted lieder but then suppressed the texts; when the composer's cousin Marc-André Souchay offered to give some of the lieder fanciful titles Mendelssohn replied that he had intended each lied 'just as it stands'. Only a small number of the lieder bear titles from Mendelssohn e.g. the three called Venetianisches Gondellied or his circle e.g. the 'Frühlingslied'; nevertheless later in the 19th century a host of insipid titles accrued to the lieder contributing to the view of Mendelssohn as a composer of overtly sentimental piano music for the parlour." R. Larry Todd in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> Dorn "studied the piano singing and composition in Königsberg made several long journeys throughout Germany during which he met Weber in Dresden and completed his studies with Ludwig Berger Bernhard Klein and Zelter in Berlin where his first opera Rolands Knappen was produced successfully in 1826. At the same time he became a co-editor of the Berliner allgemeine Muzikzeitung for which he wrote a spirited defence of the beleaguered Gaspare Spontini. Over the next two decades he built a solid reputation as a conductor of opera holding theatre posts at Königsberg 1828 Leipzig 1829-32 where he taught counterpoint to the young Schumann Hamburg 1832 Riga 1834-43 and Cologne 1844-8. He organized the first music festival of the Russian Baltic provinces in Riga 1836 and directed the Lower Rhine music festivals 1844-7. His most prestigious appointment in 1849 after Nicolai's death was as co-conductor with Wilhelm Taubert of the Berlin Hofoper. After his retirement from that post in 1869 he remained active in Berlin for many years as a teacher and writer." Adelyn Peck Leverett revised by Christopher Fifield in Grove Music Online. bei N.

The first edition of the full score was not published until after the composer's death. <br /> <br /> "The Italian sojourn of 1830 provided the raw musical material for the Italian Symphony finished and performed in London in 1833 revised the following year but published only posthumously as Symphony no.4 in 1851. For Julius Benedict the brightly scored opening was 'warmed with the balmy air of a southern clime'. The slow movement profitably compared to the 'Marche des pèlerins' from Berlioz's nearly contemporaneous Harold en Italie begins with a haunting modal melody evidently meant to depict a religious ceremony or procession. The third movement was probably inspired by Goethe's humorous poem Lilis Park. The finale labelled 'Saltarello' begins with a characteristic hopping figure reminiscent of the saltarellos Mendelssohn heard in Rome and Naples but then introduces in its development a new conjunct figure intended according to William Rockstro as a tarantella; the two are juxtaposed in the closing bars of the score." R. Larry Todd in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> "The Wandering Minstrels were an amateur orchestra of forty or so players drawn from the ranks of the aristocracy and military. The Earl of Wilton and his sons were leading lights in the orchestra and for many years the Earl's younger son the Honourable Seymour Egerton was conductor and president.<br /> <br /> The Wandering Minstrels conscientiously documented their activities. Their albums of posters photographs and concert programmes shine a light on a little-studied aspect of musical life in the 19th century: concerts given by noble amateurs. The albums provide information on the music performed the structure of the concerts and Victorian programming habits and show which composers - and which musical works - were popular.
