4to. 4 pp. on bifolium. Via Carl Klingemann to the German Orientalist Friedrich Rosen (1805-1837) in London, sharing his observations on the cold and malicious nature of the Berliners. The composer laments about the way the denizens seem to make it a point to treat the artists poorly during performances: "On the Festival you already know the details from Klingemann; it has become one of our dearest recollections, and I think it is my best composition. A few weeks later the surgeon declared my knee to be completely cured, and I thought I would be leaving shortly, but then the bitter cold came and I postponed the journey and began a large work (a symphony for orchestra, on which I worked a lot every day; it isn't quite finished, but I hope I can finish it before my departure, as I have already begun the last movement. My illness surprised me a few days before my departure, I had already taken my leave and had started to pack; now I'll have to postpone that at least a fortnight longer, but then I think I can leave; my plan is to go from here via Weimar to Munich, then through the Tyrol to Vienna; from Vienna I intend to go to Venice and Upper Italy in the middle or toward the end of summer, and then I think I'll spend next winter in Rome and Naples, then in the spring, if it is permitted to spend so much time on a plan, go to Paris and then to London from time to time, where there may be much smoke and fog and great crowds and poverty, but where pretty nice people live, too, and where I wasn't so bad off for a year. But will I find the same people there then? On this, as on your whole Let (that is Sanscrit for the future) I ask you to let [me] know a lot, also about everything which is dear and precious to me in London, and about our friends at some length. For you have a sharp eye, professor, and when you are sitting on the blue sofa, or silently making tea, or modestly gliding to and fro in the halls of the university with a light red [folder] and a long black robe, you will still make your accurate remarks and comments, and I expect more from you than from many a Berlin lady. What I have to tell you about Berlin, at last, is little and not pleasant, the people are cold, malicious, and make it a point of honor never to be content; even when [Henriette] Sonntag performed recently she was received quite coldly and was palpably slighted in favor of the others in the cast; her sister, who performed the next evening, was almost completely hissed from the stage, for which the other faction took revenge, and in their first scene (in Othello), all the participants were hissed at and Mme. Sonntag had a curtain call, and at that they speak, think, and do nothing differently than Mme. Sonntag and the factions for and against her. But is such formation of factions something a reasonable and interested public should do and doesn't it spoil any enjoyment of the work of art and all joy of the artist? But that's how they are in big and little things, and the Flower Market that opened yesterday in the University Gardens, for which a single gardener has obtained a monopoly, is just as good a proof of it as the dearth of operas other than by Spontini and Auber for which the Royal Theater has in turn obtained a monopoly, and like the monotony of the parties and conversations here; God will improve this when He has nothing to do but that, but I'm afraid He'll get other things and so much to reform that the Berliners' turn won't come for a long time, so for now they are good enough. Let me know what the Johnstons are doing, whether Ritter is still the same as back then, and whether Mühlenfels has been successfully introduced to society and speaks French with Federita. Let me know, too, about the stone monkeys, the wooden chairs from King Edmund the Cannibal's time, and the scraped-off portraits. My chests from England arrived a few days ago and filled me with longing again. Have you been back to Atwood's again since then, and did you entertain the fellow with some Ikojan Atchi? You see how I have learned from you. In short, write me about each and every thing, but especially, write me [.]" (transl.). - Friedrich Rosen became Professor of Sanscrit at the University of London (later University College) in 1827, at the age of twenty-two. Carl Klingemann was Mendelssohn's close friend and collaborator who wrote the words for many of the composer's songs. Karl Wilhelm Ludwig Heyse had been Mendelssohn's tutor until 1827. The Festival is possibly the Grosse Festmusik zum Dareifest (Grand Festive Music for the Durer Celebration) of 1828. The Symphony may be the Fingal's Cave Overture written in 1830. One of the Liechtenstein songs is doubtless Frühlingslied (Song of Spring), op. 19, no. 1.

4to. 9 lines on bifolium. With the drawing of a heart and black seal. One of only two surviving letters to his young wife Cécile Jeanrenaud: "Voici, chère Cécile, comme je garde ma promesse ! 1000 lieues ! 1000 baisers ! Espoir !". - The "promise" to which Mendelssohn alludes probably refers to his departure from England immediately after his participation in the Birmingham Triennial Music Festival on September 20th and 21st, 1837, though he may also have presented his wife this note personally upon his return, with a little gift. - Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Cécile Jeanrenaud (1817-53) had met on 4 May 1836 and married in Frankfurt on 28 March 1837. Not even six months after the wedding, Mendelssohn travelled to Birmingham to conduct his "Paulus" and to premiere his 2nd piano concert. On September 27th the couple was reunited in Leipzig. - The uncommon seal, which forms part of the message, comprises the word "[H]élas", the number "1000", and a line of music with the note E - probably for "Espoir". - The only other known letter by Mendelssohn to Cécile is in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. - Browned; slight damage to seal; traces of old repairs. - 1) Collection of Gerald Felix Warburg and Natica Nast Warburg. - 2) Sold by Northeastern Auctions, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 27 October 2013, lot 503.

4to (254 x 411 mm). 1 p. with integral autograph address leaf. Pages toned with some staining, restoration at center vertical fold, sheet laid down to mount. Letter to the publishing house of C.F. Peters regarding their offer to publish his work, , , , and framed with portrait.Much of Mendelssohn's early works, including quartets composed when he was just a teenager and the edition of Bach's St. Matthew Passion which reignited interest in the earlier composer, were published by A.M. Schlesinger of Berlin. By 1834, however, as this letter from the firm of C.F. Peters (known today as Edition Peters) attests, other established publishers were reaching out to print Mendelssohn's works."Your letter of the 9th gave me great pleasure and I thank you very much for it. The many excellent works that you have continually published, and the high rank that your publishing activity occupies in the musical world had long since made me want to do something of mine with you and see you publish it, and I would certainly have uttered it if I would have thought that you would [.] welcome this. I am all the more pleased to now receive your letter and I accept your [.] business offer that is so honorable to me(?) with great pleasure. Since I understand you might prefer pianoforte-compositions I would have liked to give you something of the same kind [.] but I have nothing ready to hand over at this moment. I hope, however, [.] that several works that are occupying me at the moment will be finished in a while, and [.] among them also pianoforte-stuff, some of which I started. As soon as they are ready, I will take the liberty of writing to you, and I will ask you then for your friendly and honorable sentiments. / Your news of the good success of my Calm Sea made me very happy, and I wish I had been at the concert, since I mailed the score right after I finished it, so I haven't even heard the piece yet." Mendelssohn's Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage (Op. 27), originally performed in 1828 and published in 1834 by the firm of Breitkopf & Hartel, was inspired both by the two Goethe poems mentioned in the title and by Beethoven's own similarly titled 1814-15 work for chorus and orchestra which had fallen into neglect by the time of Mendelssohn's writing.
