I am going to dream there the Midsummer Night's Dream.\"  The overture was composed in 1826, the remainder of the work in 1843. Mendelssohn conducted the first stage performance (a private one) of the complete work at Potsdam on 14 October 1843, and the first public performance four days later in Berlin. The present set includes the first edition parts of the famous Wedding March for orchestra.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery rare, only one other complete copy known (Bodleian, Oxford). Katalog der Sammlung Anthony van Hoboken, Band 10, no. 236; James Fuld, The Book of World-Famous Music, fifth edition, 2000, p. 633.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis set of parts illustrates a fascinating early performance history and also illustrates at least two layers of very interesting provenance.  Many of the parts are signed with the initials “A.G.” and some also include handwritten dates from the 1850s. It is possible that these initials are those of the violinist and conductor Adolphe Ganz (1795-1869), who was an intimate of the Mendelssohn family and who conducted in London at Her Majesty's Theatre from 1851.  All the parts are bound in brown paper wrappers with the instrument and title (“Sommernachtstraum Von Mendelssohn”) and “Pofs: Th: Baker” written in fine ink script on the wrapper cover.  Though the parts clearly show a performance history predating these wrappers, the set eventually became part of the library of Theodore Baker (1851-1934), American writer on music and the compiler of the 1st edition of “Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians” (1900).   Baker was the author of numerous books on music, including the first serious study of American Indian music, and was for many years the literary editor and translator for the publishing house of G. Schirmer.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViolino Imo.: Printed Title, as above; Verso with laid-in manuscript edition of six lines, “Opening of Scene (immediately after Overture).

Never! But to take my song and saddle myself with the appearance of base self-interest?  Even less than never!  'This idea appeared to the doubter as best in the end' [Quotation from Homer's \"Iliad\"]:  I wrote another little song to go with the Schiller and now ask that you accept both in fond remembrance. But the little New Year's song must not be announced yet.  If society is still in existence by New Year's Eve (which is doubtful), then let it be sung that evening; and if we like it (which is also doubtful), then let it always occur at New Year's, but at no other time.

Though Elijah was his primary concern in March 1846, Mendelssohn was also fulfilling a variety of commissions and, with the mention of \"the other composers\" in the present letter, it is possible he is referring to the German-Flemish Singing Festival in Cologne, for which he was writing the  song \"An die Kunstler,\" Op. 68, completed on April 19th.  Certainly worthy of further research, this is a superb letter, showing Mendelssohn's adherence to strong principles of musical integrity.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093107986591,"sku":"700","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"734-ponselle-carmela-signed-photograph","title":"Ponselle, Carmela.
