About Felix Mendelssohn in brief

Summary Felix MendelssohnFelix Mendelssohn was a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor. His best-known works include the overture and incidental music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the Italian Symphony, the Scottish Symphony and the oratorio St. Paul. His essentially conservative musical tastes set him apart from more adventurous musical contemporaries such as Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Charles-Valentin Alkan and Hector Berlioz. He enjoyed early success in Germany, and revived interest in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, notably with his performance of the St Matthew Passion in 1829. He was brought up without religion until the age of seven, when he was baptised as a Reformed Christian. The melody for the Christmas carol \”Hark! The Herald Angels Sing\” is also his. His Songs Without Words are his most famous solo piano compositions. He is now among the most popular composers of the Romantic era. His work has been re-evaluated due to changing musical tastes and antisemitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his creative originality has beenRe-evaluation. His music is now considered to be one of the most important in the history of music.

His works are now considered by many to be some of the best in the world, and he is considered to have had a profound influence on the music we play today.
