Mendelssohn and Victorian England Social Sciences

Mendelssohn and Victorian England

0 - Default Title
Description
This valuable book considers the reception of the composer, pianist, organist and conductor Felix Mendelssohn in nineteenth-century England, and his influence on English musical culture. Despite the composer's immense popularity in the nation during his lifetime and in the decades following his death, this is the first book to deal exclusively with the subject of Mendelssohn in England. Eatock reveals Mendelssohn as a catalyst for the expansion of English musical culture in the Victorian era. In taking this position, the author challenges much of the extant literature on the subject and provides an engaging story that brings Mendelssohn and his English experiences to life.
