Summary "A Day with Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" by George Sampson is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This engaging book captures a personal encounter with the renowned composer Felix Mendelssohn, portraying not just his musical genius but also his charming personality and thoughts on music. It delves into the life and works of Mendelssohn, framed by the author’s experiences during a visit to Leipzig. The narrative unfolds as Sampson, a young singer visiting Leipzig in 1840, meets Mendelssohn in his immaculate workroom. The composer engages in delightful conversation, reflecting on his love for England and his significant musical contributions, including discussions about his Hebrides Overture and the piece he is composing, a Violin Concerto. Through the dialogue among Mendelssohn, fellow composers, and musicians like Robert Schumann and Ferdinand David, readers gain insight into Mendelssohn's creative process, his philosophical musings on music, and his relationships with other prominent figures in the musical world. This snapshot of Mendelssohn's life offers a rich understanding of his legacy and the artistic environment of his time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
