Interesting facts about Mendelssohn

Mendelssohn had a short but happy life.
He was an excellent watercolour painter. He also maintained an enormous correspondence which demonstrated his wit. Sometimes he drew sketches and cartoons in the text of his letters.
In 1829, he conducted Johann Sebastian Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" in Berlin.
Felix and his sister Fanny remained close throughout their lives. They often collaborated together. When Fanny died in 1847, Felix is said to have become so depressed and he died 6 months later.
It's thought that he never truly recovered.

 

Mendelssohn suffered from poor health in the final years of his life. A hectic final tour of England left him exhausted and ill. He once described death as a place "where it is to be hoped there is still music, but no more sorrow or partings".

One of his most famous works is "Venetianisches Gondellied (opus 30)".
