Reproduction of the original: Letters of Felix Mendelssohn to Ignaz and Charlotte Moscheles by Felix Mendelssohn

Excerpt from Letters of Felix Mendelssohn to Ignaz and Charlotte Moscheles For a copy Of my father's letters to Mendelssohn, I am indebted to Prof. Carl Mendelssohn, of Freiburg, the eldest son of the composer. From these I have made extracts, or embodied their substance in a com mentary, where it seemed necessary to explain what Mendelssohn had written. To give them in full I deemed undesirable, so much of similar subject-matter from the pen of my father having already been made public, notably in the Life of Moscheles, edited by my mother. This biography is chiefly compiled from diaries extending over a period of nearly sixty years, and faithfully reflecting his impressions on the mani fold incidents of his artistic career.
