Description

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

Prodigiously gifted German Romantic composer (1809–1847) whose musical output represents virtually every form and genre of the era. ALS in German, one page, 8 x 6.75, April 14, 1843. Letter to “My dear Mr. Court Councillor,” in part (translated): "I have replied to the letter…that I am going to forward it together with the testimonials, to the directorate and that I shall ask that it be acted upon immediately and that the testimonials be returned forthwith. I may add that on the basis of the testimonials nothing should stand in the way of a speedy acceptance, from a musical standpoint.” In fine condition, with a strip of light toning along the slightly trimmed right edge. In 1843, Mendelssohn completed writing the music for his popular A Midsummer Night's Dream. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
