Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy as letter-writer: at the heart of 19th century European cultureAs one of the most important letter-writers of the 19th century, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy maintained an extensive correspondence. With great style and eloquence he wrote letters to friends and family, letters from his travels and he also wrote to leading composers, musicians, artists as well as publishers. He corresponded with famous contemporaries such as Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner as well as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Carl Friedrich Zelter and Alexander von Humboldt. The correspondence begins in 1816 and ends in 1847 with the composer’s death. These letters are invaluable documents shedding light not only on the genesis, publication and revision of his musical works, but also on a period when relations between Christians and Jews still had a chance to become harmonious, as Moses Mendelssohn, the imminent scholar and grandfather of the composer had advocated.This edition will therefore be of great interest far beyond the circles of musicologists and music specialists. It will appeal to those who are interested in the history of culture and ideas and to those who perceive Mendelssohn and his family as representatives of a unique, diverse cultural epoch. The complete correspondence shows that Mendelssohn not only went on to become one of the leading figures of German musical culture in the 1840s, but that he also maintained a network of musical contacts throughout Europe.The edition of the complete lettersThis scholarly-critical complete edition comprises 5,855 letters by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Previously only a small part of his correspondence had been published and made accessible to the public. The complete edition is based on Mendelssohn letters which have been compiled over decades by Rudolf Elvers as well as on international research carried out by an academic workgroup in Leipzig spearheaded by chief editors Helmut Loos and Wilhelm Seidel. They determined 500 additional letters hitherto unknown. Versions of the letter texts have been compiled from a scholarly-critical analysis of the sources, their historical context has been discussed and comments on all points in need of explanation have been made.This edition of the complete letters consists of 12 volumes and a CD-ROM. Each volume contains indices of mentioned individuals and institutions, compositions by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Fanny Hensel as well as a register of place names and currencies. In this way one obtains an all-encompassing view of this unique historical cosmos.The Complete edition has been produced to the highest standards in terms of layout, cover and binding.

Scar let Letters was composed in 1984 on commission of the pianist and harpsichordist Franzpeter Goebels (1920-1988) on the occasion of the 300th birth day of Domenico Scarlatti. The original working title 'Lettere scarlattine' is a concealed homage to the Italian composer. The compositional material is limited to the tones D, E, C, Es (= S, spoken 'Es' = E flat in German notation) and A, derived from the musical letters of Domenico Scarlatti's name, and the tones B (= B flat in German nota tion) and H (= B natural), the initials of my name. With 7 tones and 7 parts, this music is a sort of story about my imaginary encounter with the composer Domenico Scarlatti who was then one of my favourite composers. Sometimes I also used compositional means which I discovered in the sonatas of Scarlatti, such as quick 6/8 figures, afterbeat octaves and repetitions of short motifs. I tried to translatethe clarity, brightness and cheerfulness, the astounding modulations and the pianistic brilliance of his music into my compositional language.Barbara HellerThe piece was recorded on CD by the American pianist Deborah Richards (WERGO 6610-02). First performance: 31. October 1987 International Festival of Women Composers, Unna; Rosario Marciano, piano.

Documents of a Critical Year
ISBN 9783765104251. 5.5 x 8.5 inches. German.
1873 was a critical year in the life of Richard Wagner. Expectations were high when construction began on the theater. And now, even though the ambitious festival enterprise was threatened with failure, Wagner single-mindedly drove his collaborators and fund raisers on, mercilessly. Most of the approx. 320 ascertainable letters edited by Angela Steinsiek testify to his attempts to raise funds: through increased concert activity, selective publications, even through the convocation of an assembly of patrons. Other adversities he faced are found in the numerous letters from publishers which document the publication of the Rheingold score; the completion of Wagner's first book of collected writings; and the hindrances constantly preventing him from orchestrating Gotterdammerung, which kept stalling because of everyday chores. Moreover, a series of letters also clearly illustrates the process of the construction of Haus Wahnfried, whose luxurious interior decoration had to be dropped for lack of funds.Documents of a Critical Year.

Letters to Cosima and Ludwig Cosima von Bulow and King Ludwig II of Bavaria are clearly the main persons in Richard Wagner's correspondence of the year 1866. Wagner sent more than 100 letters and telegrams to the young Cosima, who was (still) not able to share her life with him and who was for him an important link to the royal court in Munich during this period. Of course, Wagner also wrote directly to the young monarch and passionate art lover Ludwig, addressing him long letters in order to obtain his favor. Compositionally, Wagner was working on the completion of Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg in 1866. In April, he settled in Tribschen near Lucerne, where he lived for a few years. This marked a temporary end to his previous restlessness. Bolstering the high source value of this comprehensively annotated volume is the fact that 34 letters from this eventful year are published here for the first time; a further 15 can be read in German in their entirety, also for the first time.

ISBN 9783702476205. UPC: 803452073314. Text: Paul Badura Skoda Frank Martin.
Pianist Paul Badura-Skoda and composer Frank Martin carried on a vivid exchange of letters from 1965 to 1974. In this period, Martin composed two major works for piano on behalf of Badura-Skoda: Second Piano Concerto (1968/69) and Fantaisie sur des rythmes flamenco (1973). The letters reproduced here show the close collaboration and mutual trust between composer and pianist, a musical piece of contemporary history. (In English, French, and German).

Up to now, many of the over 300 Wagner letters from the year 1867 were not published or known only in excerpts. They document a year that was of great artistic and personal significance for Richard Wagner. Next to the completion of the Meistersinger von Nurnberg, the composer witnessed standard-setting performances of Lohengrin in Munich, which was performed unabridged for the first time, and of Tannhauser in the revised 1861 version for Paris. Wagner kept his personal life rooted in Tribschen near Lucerne at this time. This is where Eva von Bulow, the daughter of Wagner and Cosima, was born in February 1867.Documents of a significant year.
