520    An extraordinary prodigy of Mozartean abilities, Felix 
       Mendelssohn Bartholdy was a distinguished composer and 
       conductor, a legendary pianist and organist, and an 
       accomplished painter and classicist. Lionized in his 
       lifetime, he is best remembered today for several staples 
       of the concert hall and for such popular music as "The 
       Wedding March" and "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing."; Now, 
       in the first major Mendelssohn biography to appear in 
       decades, R. Larry Todd offers a remarkably fresh account 
       of this musical giant, based upon painstaking research in 
       autograph manuscripts, correspondence, diaries, and 
       paintings. Rejecting the view of the composer as a 
       craftsman of felicitous but sentimental, saccharine works 
       (termed by one critic "moonlight with sugar water"), Todd 
       reexamines the composer's entire oeuvre, including many 
       unpublished and little known works. Here are; engaging 
       analyses of Mendelssohn's distinctive masterpieces--the 
       zestful Octet, puckish Midsummer Night's Dream, haunting 
       Hebrides Overtures, and elegiac Violin Concerto in E 
       minor. Todd describes how the composer excelled in 
       understatement and nuance, in subtle, coloristic 
       orchestrations that lent; his scores an undeniable 
       freshness and vividness. He also explores Mendelssohn's 
       changing awareness of his religious heritage, Wagner's 
       virulent anti-Semitic attack on Mendelssohn's music, the 
       composer's complex relationship with his sister Fanny 
       Hensel, herself a child prodigy and prolific composer, his
       avocation as a painter and draughtsman, and his remarkable,
       polylingual correspondence with the cultural elite of his 
       time.; Mendelssohn: A Life offers a masterful blend of 
       biography and musical analysis. Readers will discover many
       new facets of the familiar but misunderstood composer and 
       gain new perspectives on one of the most formidable 
       musical geniuses of all time.
