[No]w you really must come to
Leipzig 7 April 1838My dear Sir
I gave Mr. Chattertons bandmaster the money h… two pounds, according to your wishes & hope he arrived … in your country, & found his way through the difficulties he must have met with by sea & by land, to Manchester.
I wish I could send you the wished for composition of the sets of words you sent me; but it is altogether impossible for me to do anything in the way of prize composition, I could not do it, if I would force myself to it; & when I was compelled to do so, when a boy, in competition with my sister and fellow scholars my works were always wonders of stupidity – not the tenth part of what I could do otherwise. I think that is the reason why I felt afterwards such an antipathy to prize fighting in music that I made a kind o… to participate in it. Excuse me therefore, I should like to do as you wish me, if I possibly could.
Breitkopf & Härtel will send the P. arrangement of my Psalm in very short time, & write you about it. They wish to print the full score with the English words, as I think you will publish it in England & … send them the English translation as soon as you have it. I looked at the English Bible & found the words would do with some alteration, these of course must be cleverly made, & at all events – I wish you will stick to the words of the Bible as much as you can, and show Mr. Klingemann the translation before you adopt it. I hope you will like this Psalm .
As for my old Service which you will publish at present I would give you the Manuscript for 10 ₤. I beg you will write me once more about it if you want it, as I must copy it out myself & could bring it with me & hand it over to you at Cologne.
Now you really must come to Cologn, & your plan of bringing … friends with you & of accepting the prospect of Music and … is most excellent. Pray do come; I am so sure you will … As for the music I do not know yet how the Performances will go off, we have the whole Festival made up of seldom-performed music; but there is a glorious Cantata of Sebastian Bach’s amongst the number, with a Double Chorus in it, which would repay for the journey by itself. And the Rhine wine s… that the whole Oratorio of Joshua, & Cologn’s new Cantata, & Cologn’s old Cathedral & the gay green Rhine – I hope you will not resist all these attractions & be sure to come over; & a most hearty welcome you shall have. My wife’s best compliments; my boy is a wonderful creature for eating … & sleeping, crying into the bargain; but in excellent health which is the best of all. I am always very truly yours
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
