Research Paper On Felix Mendelssohn

Beethoven is perhaps the most famous musician of all time. His influence on later composers was extremely huge, to the extent where many composers were intimidated by his music. Ludwig van Beethoven was born in 1770 into a family of musicians. His father and grandfather were both musicians at the court of Elector in the German town of Bonn. His grandfather was very respected, but his dad not so much given that he was an alcoholic. At a young age, Beethoven was put in charge of his family’s finances and started a job at the court. He composed music and helped look after the instrumentation. Around the same time, he began to write music. In 1790, an important visitor passed through Bonn: this was Franz Joseph Haydn. He was on his way to London for a visit when he stopped to meet Beethoven and agreed to take him on as a student when he came back from London to Vienna. In 1792, Beethoven moved to Vienna to study with Hayden. Apparently, it did not go as planned. Hayden was old fashion and a little overbearing, while Beethoven was rebellious and headstrong. Beethoven found support among the rich arts who lived in Vienna. Prince Lichnowsky gave him board and lodging at his place for in return, Beethoven would compose music and preform at evening parties.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in the town of Bonn, Germany on December 16 of 1770. Bonn is located in western Germany on the Rhine River. Beethoven showed an affinity for music at an early age. His father, Johann, taught Ludwig to play the piano as well as the violin. Johann did this in hopes that his son would become a prodigy, and then reach fame like Wolfgang A. Mozart. Unfortunately though Beethoven

Beethoven is one of the most famous music composers not only of his time but as of today also. Although he suffered from loss of hearing, he has composed some of the most beautiful pieces of music we can still listen to today. After reading Beethoven’s testament, I have more of an understanding of what he was and had to go through due to his deafness. The correlation I found between his lack of hearing and his music is the emotion he put into his Fifth Symphony. Different from the Baroque style a symphony expressed multiple moods because of the movements used in a symphony making it more “real”. Because of Beethoven’s tragedy, his music displayed emotions parallel to what he felt, making his music more relatable and memorable. The complexity

Fanny was the oldest born out of four siblings, one including the well-known composer Felix Mendelssohn. Both Felix and Fanny received their earliest music education from their mother, Lea, who taught them piano. However, Fanny continued her music education into her teen years when she began to study theory and composition. In 1820, Fanny enrolled at the Berlin Sing-Akademie. While studying there, it is believed that she composed about 500 works.

When deciding on a composer from the romantic period to research, I realized that I didn’t have much insight or knowledge on the topic. I chose Frederic Chopin using completely superficial reasoning: He is of Polish descent and so am I. I also found that most of his works were solo piano pieces, and that really appealed to me for some reason.

Felix Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg on February 3, 1809, in Germany. In 1819, he joined the Singakademie music academy and began composing non-stop. At age 9, he made his public debut in Berlin. At Singakademie, he also became a conductor, but continued to compose prolifically. Mendelssohn founded the Leipzig Conservatory of Music in 1843. He died on November 4, 1847, in Leipzig. He was a great composer and changed music for ever. In 1829 Mendelssohn also became a conductor. He conducted a performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion. The performance's success led to other great opportunities which included a chance to conduct the London Singing Society that same year.

My favorite composer among the list given is definitely Johannes Brahms. I am choosing to write about Brahms because I feel as though he is the leader of the romantic era. He was a very talented man, who at such a young age had already accomplished so much a composer. When he was a teenager he was already an established composer and creating beautiful music. My little sister plays the piano now and one of my personal favorites she plays is Brahms “Waltz.” I feel so light and beautiful when I hear the song. I feel it really mirrors his works well.

The piece my ensemble piece will be performing is the Mendelssohn Quartet Op.44, movement 1. The composer, Felix Mendelssohn was born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg. Germany. As a son of Moses Mendelssohn, who was a successful banker, Mendelssohn was born into a very wealthy family, which gave him certain advantages such as providing him a rich and ideal cultural setting for his artistic mind to flourish. His received good education as well. While Mendelssohn’s father disliked Jews that converted from Judaism to Christianity to gain social acceptance outside of the jewish ghettos, Felix still ended up following Christianity, and even baptized his whole family in the name of Jesus. When Mendelssohn was a child, his family moved to Berlin where he would meet Ludwig Berger. Felix took piano lessons from Berger and also studied from Karl Zelter on compositions. In the early 19th century, Mendelssohn quickly established himself as prodigy and displayed an interest in arts and music thru his ability to perform on the piano and violin, as well as painting. At the young age of nine, he made is public debut and during his childhood he had written five operas and eleven full orchestral symphonies.

Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 in A Major, Op. 90 Movement 1 is in sonata-allegro form. His musical style is mostly classical with a few incorporations from the Romantic style. The theme of the first movement is introduced with violins. The tempo is rather fast and bright which labels the first movement as allegro vivace.

German composer and pianist, Ludwig van Beethoven, was born December 1770 and spent most of his life in Vienna, Austria. His first teacher was his alcoholic father, who worked as a musician at the Court of Bonn. Teaching him day and night, Ludwig suffered from his father's harsh and erratic behavior. For a time, he and his father played at the Church. As his father's alcoholism increased, Ludwig became the main musician.

In Berlin, Felix began taking piano lessons from Ludwig Berger, and composition lessons from Carl Friedrich Zelter. He also had

He was born in the German town of Bonn on the 16th of December 1770. His grandfather Ludwig and his father Johann were both musicians. Johann was to act as little Ludwig's first music teacher, but Ludwig soon changed to the court organist C. G. Neefe. Passing eleven years of age, Ludwig deputized for Neefe, and at twelve had his first music published. He then stayed as Neefe's assistant until 1787, when at seventeen, he took off for Vienna. Even though Vienna was to be his home for the rest of his life, this first visit was short. On hearing that his mother was dying, he quickly returned to Bonn. Five years later he finally moved to Vienna to live and work.

It’s not really possible for me to discuss the group itself, as they weren’t shown as part of the film or the play. The style of the music was almost entirely incidental music (including a number of vocal pieces), written by Felix Mendelssohn, although there were also excerpts from his symphonies and piano pieces. The music was re-orchestrated by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Date and time are hard to place, except for during or slightly before the year 1935. Similarly, I can’t locate the place any more specifically than Warner Bros. Pictures. Going in, I had no expectations, but hoped to learn about the concert, what the music sounded like, and other things required to write a good report.

The characterization of the musical production of Felix Mendelssohn requires the acknowledgement of two key observations: the essentially classical structure of Mendelssohn’s compositions and the frequent romantic innovations Mendelssohn employed. Mendelssohn was a conservative fixture in an era of radical upheaval—the early nineteenth century. Intellectually in Europe, this was an era of transition, as the romantics sought to upend the enlightenment establishment across all areas of artistic, scientific and cultural production: whether the orderly structures of classical music, the faith in reason and scientific progress that animated Enlightenment tracts and polemics, the embrace of technological progress, or the vehement rejection of superstitions

Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg in 1809. His father Abraham Mendelssohn was a banker, while his mum Lea Mendelssohn was a highly educated artist and musician. Mendelssohn first had his piano lesson from his mum, but soon he was sent to study with the best teachers at that time such as Marie Bigot and Ludwig Burger. He also took composition lessons with Karl
