Felix Mendelssohn
Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, plus couramment appelé Felix Mendelssohn (parfois Félix avec accent), né le 3 février 1809 à Hambourg et mort le 4 novembre 1847 à Leipzig, est un compositeur, chef d'orchestre et pianiste allemand du début de la période romantique. Membre de la famille Mendelssohn, il est le petit-fils du philosophe et rabbin Moses Mendelssohn, le fils du banquier et philanthrope Abraham Mendelssohn Bartholdy et le frère de la compositrice Fanny Mendelssohn.
Après des succès précoces en Allemagne, il voyage dans l'Europe entière, passant notamment quatre fois par la Suisse. Il est particulièrement bien accueilli en Grande-Bretagne où, au cours de ses dix visites, sont créées plusieurs de ses œuvres majeures. Contemporain de Chopin, Liszt, Wagner et Berlioz, il laisse une œuvre très importante pour sa courte vie de 38 ans (symphonies, concerti, oratorios, ouvertures, musique de scène, œuvres pour piano seul, œuvres pour orgue seul et musique de chambre). Sa notoriété repose sur quelques-uns de ses plus grands chefs-d'œuvre : l'ouverture et la musique de scène pour « Le Songe d’une nuit d’été », l'ouverture « Les Hébrides », les symphonies « italienne » et « écossaise », les oratorios « Paulus » et « Elias », le second Concerto pour violon en mi mineur, op. 64, l'Octuor à cordes et le Trio no 1 en ré mineur, op. 49.
Il a participé à la redécouverte de la musique baroque et surtout de Jean-Sébastien Bach et Georges-Frédéric Haendel. Il est notamment l'un des premiers compositeurs de son temps à renouveler l'art du contrepoint, ce qui lui vaut parfois d'être considéré comme « le classique des romantiques ». Après une longue période de dénigrement relatif due à l'évolution des goûts musicaux, à l'antisémitisme du XIXe siècle et du XXe siècle et à l'interdiction par les nazis de jouer sa musique, il est redécouvert dans la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle et reconnu comme un compositeur majeur de l'ère romantique.
