Recenzje

Over the past two decades, Mendelssohn scholarship has focused on foundational work, such as reexaminations of biography and crucial primary sources. Rethinking Mendelssohn successfully builds on this foundation in innovative and exciting ways. It casts new light on those areas of Mendelssohn's oeuvre that have remained in the shadows, while exploring the composer's life and music in the context of recent discoveries and novel historical and theoretical frameworks.
