Mendelssohn's English Legacy
Mendelssohn was the favourite composer of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Successive generations of Victorian composers came under his spell too, but by the turn of the century his influence had been overtaken by that of Brahms. Paul
Guinery and Roger Nichols follow the rise and the decline of Mendelssohn's musical influence in Victorian and Edwardian England.
