Since his death in 1847, Felix Mendelssohn's music and personality have been both admired and denigrated to extraordinary degrees. In this valuable book Clive Brown weaves together a rich array of documents-letters, diaries, memoirs, reviews, news reports, and more-to present a balanced and fascinating picture of the composer and his work. Rejecting the received view of Mendelssohn as a facile, lightweight musician, Brown demonstrates that he was in fact an innovative and highly cerebral composer who exerted a powerful influence on musical thought into the twentieth century.Brown discusses Mendelssohn's family background and education; the role of religion and race in his life and reputation; his experiences as practical musician (pianist, organist, string player, conductor) and as teacher and composer; the critical reception of his works; and the vicissitudes of his posthumous reputation. The book also includes a range of hitherto unpublished sketches made by Mendelssohn. The result is an unprecedented portrayal of the man and his achievements as viewed through his own words and those of his contempories.

Published in Sophr's 200th anniversary year, this book deals at length with both the life and the works of a composer who exerted a potent influence on the development of nineteenth-century music. Spohr was hailed in his own day as a worthy successor to Mozart and Beethoven, yet in the present century his former renown has gone largely unrecognised. Clive Brown gives an account of Spohr's compositions sympathetically but critically and provides a stylistic and aesthetic assessment of his output. The chronological account of Spohr's life unfolds in parallel with the description of his works ; a final chapter considers the decline of his reputation after his death. This volume will be of interest not only to scholars and students but also to general music readers. And since so little of Spohr's very substantial output is available in modern editions and is seldom performed, the book will also be useful to practical musicians in search of unfamiliar and worthwhile music for performance.
