Sep. 2021 Taylor: Mendelssohn (The Early Romantic Composers) Two Essays from Das Problem Mendelssohn (1974) Carl Dahlhaus Translated by Benedict Taylor Foreword to Das Problem Mendelssohn (The Mendelssohn Problem) To speak of a Mendelssohn renaissance would be doubtless a crude exaggeration (besides being poor style, as was abhorred by Mendelssohn). But the coincidence that two recordings of the youthful String Symphonies have almost simultaneously appeared is more than chance. And equally the increase in academic interest in Mendelssohn is conspicuous, an interest which the present collection of essays may be understood to document.
