Letters of Felix Mendelssohn to Ignaz and Charlotte Moscheles

Dedication

Dedicated
TO
SIR GEORGE GROVE, D.C.L., LL.D.,
THE TRUEST FRIEND TO MUSIC
AND MUSICIANS.
I am indebted to Mr. Isaac Henderson, of New York, for his kind assistance in the selections made for publication.
Messrs. Littleton, of the firm of Novello, I have to thank for some interesting details in reference to Mendelssohn’s business transactions with them.

The letters as published in “Scribner’s Magazine,” by arrangement, were selections from my manuscript translations. The portraits of Mendelssohn and of the Mendelssohn family were, however, not contributed by me, with the exception of the reproduction of the bust by Rietschel, and of the medallion by Knauer.
Felix Moscheles.
