The Price of Assimilation: Felix Mendelssohn and the Nineteenth Century Anti Semitic Tradition by Jeffrey Sposato |
by R. Larry Todd

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Mendelssohn traveled widely and, wherever he went, sent long, genial letters to his family and friends. In them he avoided setting down judgments on compositions, but did tend to go into great detail about business arrangements. "There is perhaps less appeal in this collection of letters than music lovers might wish," commented PW. Illustrated.

From Library Journal
Mendelssohn was a prolific and detailed letter writer. Although library shelves are full of selections from his correspondence, this English translation of a recent German edition has several points to recommend it, among them the inclusion of correspondence devoted solely to family affairs that has hitherto been unavailable. The letters, which span Mendelssohn's entire life, are interspersed with brief narratives that give the reader some background. Throughout, we are shown the composer in all the diversity of his dealings and also given an idea of his lively personality. Ably translated and well indexed, this readable volume will be attractive to music enthusiasts as well as scholars. Robert W. Richart, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman
