A Moment in History: The Life and Times of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy:

by Abigail Smith

Overview

Jacob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was one of the most renown composers of the 19th century. Yet you, yes you, may not know much about Felix Mendelssohn. Based on true events and letters, this biography tells the adventurous story of Felix; how he revived the music of Bach and helped contribute to the modern art of conducting. From the perspective of concertmaster, Ferdinand David, this biography is in the form of a novel rather than a boring old report.

Each chapter has a set of suggested pieces of music to research and listen to while reading. It adds a whole new element to the reading in which lets the music tell the story.
