Title: Felix Mendelssohn, German Composer
Caption: Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847) was a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period. A grandson of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. He was a musical prodigy. In 1821 he was introduced to the elderly Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and subsequently set a number of Goethe's poems to music. In 1835 Mendelssohn was named conductor of the Leipzig Orchestra. He suffered from poor health in the final years of his life. A final tour of England left him exhausted and ill from a hectic schedule. He died in 1847, at the age of 38, after a series of strokes. Mendelssohn's work includes symphonies, concerti, oratorios, piano music and chamber music. After a long period of relative denigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his creative originality has now been recognized and re-evaluated. He is now among the most popular composers of the Romantic era.
