Catalog of the Mendelssohn Papers in the Bodleian Library III 734. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Leipzig catalog 152. Müller-Reuter I p. 73. Fuld p. 556.<br /> <br /> Mendelssohn finished his "Italian" Symphony in Berlin on 13 March 1833 conducting its first performance in London on 13 May 1833 at a London Philharmonic Society concert. The first edition of the full score was not published until after the composer's death. <br /> <br /> "The Italian sojourn of 1830 provided the raw musical material for the Italian Symphony finished and performed in London in 1833 revised the following year but published only posthumously as Symphony no.4 in 1851. For Julius Benedict the brightly scored opening was 'warmed with the balmy air of a southern clime'. The slow movement profitably compared to the 'Marche des pèlerins' from Berlioz's nearly contemporaneous Harold en Italie begins with a haunting modal melody evidently meant to depict a religious ceremony or procession. The third movement was probably inspired by Goethe's humorous poem Lilis Park. The finale labelled 'Saltarello' begins with a characteristic hopping figure reminiscent of the saltarellos Mendelssohn heard in Rome and Naples but then introduces in its development a new conjunct figure intended according to William Rockstro as a tarantella; the two are juxtaposed in the closing bars of the score." R. Larry Todd in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> "The Wandering Minstrels were an amateur orchestra of forty or so players drawn from the ranks of the aristocracy and military. The Earl of Wilton and his sons were leading lights in the orchestra and for many years the Earl's younger son the Honourable Seymour Egerton was conductor and president.<br /> <br /> The Wandering Minstrels conscientiously documented their activities. Their albums of posters photographs and concert programmes shine a light on a little-studied aspect of musical life in the 19th century: concerts given by noble amateurs. The albums provide information on the music performed the structure of the concerts and Victorian programming habits and show which composers - and which musical works - were popular. Mendelssohn and Gounod were the most popular composers by a long way." British Library website music blog 17 August 2012. Breitkopf & Härtel ... Ewer & Co. [PN 8347] unknown

His art flourished in the imaginatively stimulating atmosphere in Sydney in the 1890s and 1900s when he achieved early success with one of his best-known works 'By Tranquil Waters' 1894. It was a precursor to the paintings in which he peopled the Australian bush with mythological figures painted in an Art Nouveau style." - National Art Gallery. McGraw-Hill / Copperfield unknown

MENDELSSOHN, Albert
TICHBORNE CASE ""Twenty Years After"" Roger Tichborne was lost A.D. 1854 the Claimant was lost A.D. 1874.
Title from artist's caption. London : Albert Mendelssohn 1874. Albumen print photograph of a satirical cartoon artist's monogram W.R. in the image carte de visite format 103 x 63 mm mount recto with the artist's printed caption to lower margin; verso with wet stamp of 'Albert Mendelssohn Publisher London'; in fine condition. The case of the Tichborne claimant produced two of the most celebrated British trials of the nineteenth century. In 1865 the false claimant in the case an impostor called Arthur Orton who was living in Wagga Wagga under the name Tom Castro claimed that he was in fact the English aristocrat Sir Roger Tichborne who had supposedly been lost at sea some ten years earlier. Although the massive inheritance had passed in the meantime to Sir Roger's younger brother and nephew Sir Roger's mother the Dowager Lady Tichborne refused to believe that her elder son was dead. It was in response to Lady Tichborne's persistent enquiries for confirmation that her son might still be alive that Orton made his claim to the Tichborne baronetcy through a lawyer. In spite of the fact that he bore little resemblance to Sir Roger and could not speak a word of French whereas Sir Roger was fluent Lady Tichborne paid for his passage back to England in order to be reunited with him. Bizarrely she accepted him as her son as did several of Tichborne's old acquaintances. Orton was duly given an annual allowance of £1000. However following Lady Tichborne's death in 1868 a group of family members and friends of Sir Roger began to seriously challenge the claimant's identity. It was discovered that his real name was Arthur Orton and that he was a butcher's son from Wapping. In 1871 after a 102 day trial to determine his true identity Orton was charged with perjury and in 1874 after another marathon 188 day trial he was found guilty of this charge and sentenced to 14 years' hard labour. In his penurious final years he gave a full written confession which he strangely later retracted before his death in 1898. This commercial carte de visite-format satirical cartoon was produced for an eager and fascinated public at the end of the second trial by the London publisher Albert Mendelssohn.
