"One
of the most gifted and versatile prodigies, Mendelssohn stood at the
forefront of German music during the 1830s and 40s, as conductor, pianist,
organist and, above all, composer. His musical style, fully developed
before he was 20, drew upon a variety of influences, including the complex
chromatic counterpoint of Bach, the formal clarity and gracefulness of
Mozart and the dramatic power of Beethoven and Weber."1
