Felix MENDELSSOHN

The son of a Berlin banker easy Jew whose family, who converted to Christianity, became an intellectual and artistic deemed that attend, including Hegel and his first music teacher, Zelter, he was noted very young for his precocity, especially by Goethe in which he plays. He runs to fifteen years his first opera. His teacher, composer Ignaz Moscheles, admits to not having much to teach him as he is gifted. At sixteen he had already composed his twelve symphonies for string orchestra, his first symphony, a string octet and five concertos for violin and piano. He plays with his elder sister Fanny Mendelssohn, also a piano virtuoso, he will remain very close throughout his life. Musical director of the Leipzig Gewandhaus in 1835, it is called in the 1840s in Berlin by the Prussian King Frederick William IV to reorganize the musical life of the city. He became the most famous European composer of his time, particularly in England. In Leipzig in the 1840s, he befriended the composer Robert Schumann, who considers him the "Mozart of the nineteenth century". He encourages other composers, including Joseph Joachim Raff or Niels Wilhelm Gade. Among his most famous works include The Dream of a Summer Night, the sublime Violin Concerto in E minor op. 64, the symphonies No. 1, No. 3, called the "Scottish" (actually the fifth in order of composition), and No. 4 "The Italian" (the third in order of composition), and that some of its 64 songs without words for piano. Unfortunately the knowledge of Mendelssohn is often limited to these works, while other numbers dialed chief of THEREFOR, or at least works of great beauty. Among these, there are serious variations for piano op. 54, a real masterpiece of practicing the piano composition of the nineteenth century and which expresses the genius of Mendelssohn. Other works are masterpieces of Mendelssohn's two piano trios op. 49 in D minor op and. 66 in C minor. If the reputation of the first trio is well established, however the second line remains relatively unknown to the general public, then it is as beautiful, if not more than 49 opus, with its first movement a high drama, his typical boisterous Scherzo Mendelssohn, and including a final chorale, like the 5th Symphony, "Reformation". These two piano trios fall between those of Franz Schubert (and the magnificent op. 100!) And those of Johannes Brahms, one finds the same sounds as in the violin concerto, Mendelssohn those of a summit of his art, deepest, most romantic, beautiful and classic summary of the receipts of German Romanticism. Finally, one can also mention the octet string op. 20, CARRYING he composed at the age of sixteen, and already reflects great maturity, seven string quartets, especially the beautiful quartet op. 44 (three quartets) and op. 80, the two concertos for piano and orchestra op. 25 and op. 40, the sonatas for violin and cello. Mendelssohn was regarded during his lifetime as the greatest European composer, and his great friend Robert Schumann vowed boundless admiration. It is undoubtedly one of the greatest musical genius, both as a composer, a pianist (he was a great child prodigy, the equal of Mozart and Saint-Saens) and a conductor, nineteenth century. Mendelssohn's musical style, both lyrical and worked on very formal terms (with the frequent use of ostinato), yielding the latest way to the use of dissonances and contrasts incisive, made him a key composers of the nineteenth century. His orchestral sonorities are always colorful and refined, and he became the master of the scherzo, always very lively (octet, quartets, trios, Dream of a Summer Night, final concertos. ). He is the rediscovery of the St. Matthew Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel and Franz Schubert's ninth symphony "the Great" which he conducted the first performance in Leipzig Gewandhaus in 1839. His critics accuse him sometimes to write music perfectly correct and polite, aimed above all to stay in the area of suitable, avoiding risk-taking. His example does not reach, however, less rare elegance, both in recognizing the talents of others, in the extreme delicacy of his style, obtained by means of a sober.
