Pray, dear Sir, let me know when you receive the music, and your opinion of it. I am not quite sure whether I may rely on the punctuality of the bearer, and shall therefore be very glad to hear of its safe arrival in your hands. In the beginning of next month there will be a performance of an
Dusseldorf 5th May 1834. My dear Sir I write in haste to tell you that one of the German Chorus-singers, who leaves Dusseldorf to day (a Mr. Hartenfels) takes with him the music which I got for you, according to your last kind letter. But I send the two volumes of Motetts (Kirchenmusik) of Seb. Bach, instead of the „Passio sec. Johannem“ as I remembered afterwards that I had sent the Passione some months ago by Mr. Klingemann to Mr. Horsley, by whom you would easily get the score, and see whether it answers your purpose, and as it was your object to get music which was not yet known in your country. I hope you will not disapprove of my choice, the six motets are really sublime, and particularly the last of the 1st vol. (g min. ) and the 2d of the 2d vol. (g min. ) appear to me quite fit for a public performance in your country. – I had the copy of „Miltons Morgengesang” from Berlin, and not without some difficulty, as it is almost forgotten there, and not to be found at the music shops; in looking it over once more I found that for a performance at a Festival some alterations might be necessary, particularly in the beginning which seems to me rather tame, and in the great Chorus in e flat, which wants additional string-instruments although I like the idea of representing the storm but with wind instruments. However The effect would be too week, I am afraid, and by cutting of one or two movements in the beginning, I think also that the whole would improve. But I am sure you will admire, as I do, the beautiful Solo of Tenor, & of Soprano, and the Chorus in e fl. with the Duet that follows it, and particularly the last Chorus with that beautiful conclusion, which seems to me so strikingly descriptive of the dawn of day, and the feelings which accompany it Pray, dear Sir, let me know when you receive the music, and your opinion of it. I am not quite sure whether I may rely on the punctuality of the bearer, and shall therefore be very glad to hear of its safe arrival in your hands. In the beginning of next month there will be a performance of an Oratorio (by B. Klein, which is very highly spoken of) in one of the neighbouring towns; I shall probably go to hear it & wish heartily it may be better than the other compositions of him I know, and a truly good novelty. Shall I give you an account of it after the performance? And is there anything else now which I can do or send over for you? There are always opportunities, for sending music &c. from here to London, and I shall always be happy, to do you any service I can. Should you like to look at Loewe’s „Zerstörung von Jerusalem” which I have been presented with, & dislike it nevertheless still as much as before? Pray excuse my haste and believe me very truly yours Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. My best compliments & wishes to your brother John & his family.
