Excellent- More about Mendelssohn, Time and Memory: The Romantic Conception of Cyclic Form
Felix Mendelssohn's compositions are analyzed for their conceptions of time, memory, and history, offering a fresh perspective on his music and its relationship to nineteenth-century culture.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 313 pages
Publication date: 01 July 2021
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Felix Mendelssohn has long been regarded as one of the most historically conscious composers in Western music. This book explores the conceptions of time, memory, and history found in his instrumental compositions, presenting an intriguing new perspective on his ever-popular music. Focusing on Mendelssohn's innovative development of cyclic form, Taylor investigates how the composer was influenced by the aesthetic and philosophical movements of the period. This is of key importance not only for reconsidering Mendelssohn's work and its position in nineteenth-century culture, but also more generally concerning the relationship between music, time, and subjectivity. One of very few detailed accounts of Mendelssohn's music, the study presents a new and provocative reading of the meaning of the composer's work by connecting it to wider cultural and philosophical ideas.
