Reviews

»The culmination of decades of research, the Bärenreiter Mendelssohn Briefedition delivers the first comprehensive edition of the letters of one of the central 19th-centur y composers whose prose style rivaled in clarity, wit and imagination that of the great letter writers of all time. A monumental contribution to historical scholarship that promises to thoroughly inform our understanding of Mendelssohn and his age.«
R. Larry Todd (Arts & Sciences Professor, Duke University, and author of Mendelssohn: A Life in Music)
