Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy 1809-1847

Felix Mendelssohn was born in 1809 in Hamburg. Despite his untimely death at the age of 38, his legacy of works is vast. Born into a wealthy banking family, young Felix had a sheltered upbringing, shielded from the trials and tribulations of life. His piano works, his symphonies and the famous overture to A Midsummer Night�s Dream all share the same carefree and unburdened feel.
