Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy as
letter-writer: at the
heart of 19th century
European
culture
As one of
the most important
letter-writers of the
19th century, Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
maintained an extensive
correspondence. With
great style and eloquence
he wrote letters to
friends and family,
letters from his travels
and he also wrote to
leading composers,
musicians, artists as
well as publishers. He
corresponded with famous
contemporaries such as
Robert Schumann, Franz
Liszt and Richard Wagner
as well as Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe, Carl
Friedrich Zelter and
Alexander von
Humboldt.
The
correspondence begins in
1816 and ends in 1847
with the
composer’s death.
These letters are
invaluable documents
shedding light not only
on the genesis,
publication and revision
of his musical works, but
also on a period when
relations between
Christians and Jews still
had a chance to become
harmonious, as Moses
Mendelssohn, the imminent
scholar and grandfather
of the composer had
advocated.
This
edition will therefore be
of great interest far
beyond the circles of
musicologists and music
specialists. It will
appeal to those who are
interested in the history
of culture and ideas and
to those who perceive
Mendelssohn and his
family as representatives
of a unique, diverse
cultural epoch.
The complete
correspondence shows that
Mendelssohn not only went
on to become one of the
leading figures of German
musical culture in the
1840s, but that he also
maintained a network of
musical contacts
throughout
Europe.
The
edition of the complete
letters This
scholarly-critical
complete edition
comprises 5,855 letters
by Felix Mendelssohn
Bartholdy. Previously
only a small part of his
correspondence had been
published and made
accessible to the public.
The complete edition is
based on Mendelssohn
letters which have been
compiled over decades by
Rudolf Elvers as well as
on international research
carried out by an
academic workgroup in
Leipzig spearheaded by
chief editors Helmut Loos
and Wilhelm Seidel. They
determined 500 additional
letters hitherto
unknown.
Versions
of the letter texts have
been compiled from a
scholarly-critical
analysis of the sources,
their historical context
has been discussed and
comments on all points in
need of explanation have
been made.
This
edition of the complete
letters consists of 12
volumes and a CD-ROM.
Each volume contains
indices of mentioned
individuals and
institutions,
compositions by Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy and
Fanny Hensel as well as a
register of place names
and currencies. In this
way one obtains an
all-encompassing view of
this unique historical
cosmos.
The
Complete edition has been
produced to the highest
standards in terms of
layout, cover and
binding. It is an ideal
collector’s item
for bibliophiles,
providing an excellent
means for studying the
composer and the period
in which he
lived.
The CD-ROM
forms a valuable addition
to the printed volumes.
It offers the complete
printed edition in the
form of pdf. files,
thereby making its
approximately 9,500 pages
digitally accessible and
enabling letters and the
corresponding commentary
to be read in parallel.

Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy as
letter-writer: at the
heart of 19th century
European
culture
As one of
the most important
letter-writers of the
19th century, Felix
Mendelssohn Bartholdy
maintained an extensive
correspondence. With
great style and eloquence
he wrote letters to
friends and family,
letters from his travels
and he also wrote to
leading composers,
musicians, artists as
well as publishers. He
corresponded with famous
contemporaries such as
Robert Schumann, Franz
Liszt and Richard Wagner
as well as Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe, Carl
Friedrich Zelter and
Alexander von
Humboldt.
The
correspondence begins in
1816 and ends in 1847
with the
composer’s death.
These letters are
invaluable documents
shedding light not only
on the genesis,
publication and revision
of his musical works, but
also on a period when
relations between
Christians and Jews still
had a chance to become
harmonious, as Moses
Mendelssohn, the imminent
scholar and grandfather
of the composer had
advocated.
This
edition will therefore be
of great interest far
beyond the circles of
musicologists and music
specialists. It will
appeal to those who are
interested in the history
of culture and ideas and
to those who perceive
Mendelssohn and his
family as representatives
of a unique, diverse
cultural epoch.
The complete
correspondence shows that
Mendelssohn not only went
on to become one of the
leading figures of German
musical culture in the
1840s, but that he also
maintained a network of
musical contacts
throughout
Europe.
