Ignaz Moscheles, the celebrated pianist, gave the teenage Mendelssohn lessons and became a lifelong friend. These letters to him and his wife Charlotte, edited and translated by their son Felix, run through London concerts, new compositions, Leipzig, family news and teasing apologies, and show the composer at his most affectionate and playful.
A delightful window on musical life in the 1830s and 1840s for anyone who loves Mendelssohn. Download the free EPUB.
