Description:
Complete Edition.
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's concert overtures have a very special significance in music history. Not only do they represent the first independent overture compositions that no longer introduce anything, but as the starting point of a new genre they signal the dawn of great Romantic instrumental music. A look at the documents preceding the final versions of the concert overtures provides insights into both Mendelssohn's working methods and the various aesthetic motifs that prompted him to develop the new genre.
This volume of the Leipzig Mendelssohn Edition presents the surviving early versions of the overtures together with the surviving sketches and drafts. These are previously unpublished sources for the following works:
Concert Overture to Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream MWV P 3 (sketches for the version early summer 1826),
Concert Overture The Hebrides / The Isles of Fingal MWV P 7 (sketches and version 1830),
Concert Overture Calm Sea and Happy Voyage MWV P 5 (version 1828),
Concert Overture to The Fairy Tale of Melusine MWV P 12 (version 1833).
