Felix Mendelssohn (1809‐1847) was born just 18 years after Mozart’s death and many regarded him as Mozart’s heir. Like Mozart, he too would have a very short life span but during his brief 38 years he composed some of our best‐loved masterpieces. In addition to his brilliant musical creativity he was a wonderful correspondent writing about his visits with such people as Queen Victoria and Goethe.
