Hi everybody!! Here you will find some information about Mendelssohn, a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period.
I hope you like it! :))
Felix Mendelssohn was a child prodigy, like Mozart. He was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1809. When he was 9, he gave his first recital.
At the age of 15, he had already composed twelve symphonies!
His mum gave him his first piano lessons, and his older sister was talented as both a pianist and a composer. He produced one of his best known works, "Overture to a midsummer Night's Dream".
Mendelssohn toured a lot around Europe and drew inspiration for his music from the places he visited.
Unfortunately, he ended up suffering from bad health and died early, at the young age of 38. However, he will be forever remembered as one of the best-loved composers of the Romantic era.
See you!
