Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (3 February 1809 – 4 November 1847), widely known as Felix Mendelssohn, was a German composer, pianist, organist and conductor of the early Romantic period. Mendelssohn's compositions include symphonies, concertos, piano music, organ music and chamber music. The Songs Without Words (Lieder ohne Worte) are his most famous solo piano compositions.

Mendelssohn's grandfather was the renowned Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, but Felix was initially raised without religion until he was baptised at the age of seven into the Reformed Christian church. He was recognised early as a musical prodigy, but his parents were cautious and did not seek to capitalise on his talent. His sister Fanny Mendelssohn received a similar musical education and was a talented composer and pianist in her own right; some of her early songs were published under her brother's name and her Easter Sonata was for a time mistakenly attributed to him after being lost and rediscovered in the 1970s.

Mendelssohn enjoyed early success in Germany, and became well-received in his travels throughout Europe as a composer, conductor and soloist; his ten visits to Britain – during which many of his major works were premiered – form an important part of his adult career. His essentially conservative musical tastes set him apart from more adventurous musical contemporaries. The Leipzig Conservatory, which he founded, became a bastion of this anti-radical outlook. After a long period of relative denigration due to changing musical tastes, his creative originality has been re-evaluated. He is now among the most popular composers of the Romantic era.

    What BEAUTIFUL Thoughts. This Mendelssohn piece has special meaning for me. The Rondo Capriccioso was a piece I was working on in 9th Grade. Our MOTHER would be in the kitchen, and call out: "SUZ, why don't you work on the Mendelssohn Piece..." And I always did. We lost her so suddenly, when she was only 70. But THESE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES are ALWAYS there. GRATEFUL thanks to you ALL... ❤❤❤😊❤❤❤

    Very peaceful and beautiful ! How sad that his music was banned during Hitler's regime ! But Mendelssuhn will live forever !

    The playlists opens up in pure enchantment. I've particularly fallen in love with the songs without words. Mendelssohn adds such a poetic touch to the order and symmetry of the previous classical era.
