Opis

A notable book in European nineteenth-century intellectual history, this was an account of the relationship between the young Mendelssohn and the aged Goethe, supported by a collection of nearly 40 Mendelssohn letters providing a first-hand account of that relationship as well as other aspects of the composer's life and interests. Of particular interest to students of music are the composer's letters appended to the text. The author, Dr. Karl Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, was the son of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
