| Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was the grandson of the distinguished Jewish thinker Moses Mendelssohn. He was born in Hamburg and raised in Berlin. He converted to Christianity and adopted the additional surname Bartholdy. Mendelssohn was a prolific and gifted composer, conductor and pianist. His style of composition combined something of the economy of means of the classical period with the romanticism of a later age. |
