Course Description


Instructor: Sally Kann

One of history’s great musical prodigies, Mendelssohn is considered a Classic-Romantic composer because of his style: Classical formality and structure, infused with flights of Romantic fantasy. Few composers can match his lyricism, cheeky humor, and bubbling, supple energy. Only Mozart displayed a similar youthful genius (Mendelssohn wrote his 13 string symphonies between the ages of 11 and 15). We will examine Mendelssohn’s early and mature works against his wealthy and privileged background, the climate of anti-Semitism, and his premature death.
