Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) born in Hamburg Germany,
was a child prodigy with education strictly monitored by
his father. String Octet (1825) and Overture to Midsummer
Night's Dream (1826) demonstrated his brilliance. First to
revive interest in J S Bach, directed St Matthew Passion
(Berlin 1829). Visited Scotland (1829); revisited Britain
nine times, toured as conductor, pianist, organist; held
celebrity status (invitations from Queen Victoria and Prince
Albert). Conducted Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra (1836-),
founded Leipzig Conservatory (1843). Composed oratorios,
symphonies, overtures, operas, concertos, songs, chamber,
piano, organ works. His oratorio Elijah (1846, opus 70)
premiered at Birmingham Triennial Music Festival, depicts
various events in the life Elijah, taken from Old Testament
(1 Kings and 2 Kings) using an English translation by William
Bartholomew (who served as his text author/translator for many
of his works during his time in England).
Three Preludes and Fugues (1837) was written in the space of one
week while not occupied with revivals of music by Bach (1685-1750),
Mozart (1756-1791), Beethoven (1770-1827).
