Complete Edition (Schmidt, Christian Martin)
Documents on the 'Pre-pre-premiere'
The 'Elijah Early Versions' document a decade that stretches from the first conceptual thoughts in 1837, directly after the completion of 'Paulus', to the 'Elijah' premiere on August 26, 1846. As early as 1837, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy conceived the libretto with his friend Carl Klingemann. The latter soon sends a text, which Mendelssohn then passes on to the theologian friend Carl Schubring. Thereafter, a breathtaking logistics sets in, with which Mendelssohn in the final phase from Leipzig pushes the premiere in Birmingham, at the same time taking more and more the elaboration of the libretto to himself and during the rehearsals, as usual, still changes, deletes, adds and even recomposes whole numbers - to realize in the end only an attempt, a 'pre-pre-pre-premiere' of the great work, which he will subject to many a further revision in the following period.
