Prodigiously gifted German Romantic composer (1809–1847). His musical output represents virtually every form and genre of the era, ranging from piano and chamber music to symphonies and other orchestral music to such large-scale choral masterpieces. Rare and lengthy AMQS on an off-white 12.25 x 8.25 sheet, signed at the conclusion (translated), “In kindest remembrance of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.” Mendelssohn pens 14 bars of music on two staves, identifying it above as “Canone a 2,” with the place and date below, “Leipzig 28th Marz, 1841.” In fine condition, with light overall toning (heavier to edges), a few tears repaired with tape to reverse, and a few other small edge chips and tears (none affecting the music or signature). Pencil notation to reverse describes it as an unpublished canon in E-flat minor (misidentified, as this is in C minor). This is most likely a later transcript of the original canons composed in 1837–38. The earliest known example, dated February 1839, is now preserved in the Bibliotheque National in Paris.
