Notes Like W.A. Mozart, Felix Mendelssohn was a true child prodigy, performing as a concert pianist before the age of ten and composing symphonies and operas as a teenager. Hailing from Hamburg, Germany, he studied Mozart’s music closely and was instrumental in reviving the music of J.S. Bach. It is reasonable to assume that we enjoy many of the great works of Bach today because of Felix Mendelssohn’s efforts. Mendelssohn composed the incidental music for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the behest of King Frederick of Prussia while serving as music director at the Academy of Arts in Berlin. The “scherzo” underscores the antics of Puck, a clever jokester in the magical world of fairies. Thus, the performance should remain light and playful throughout, all dynamics being relative. Keep in mind that although the accompaniment is sometimes “thickly” voiced, it must always serve the melody in a sprightly manner. The solo runs preceding the recapitulation should be seamlessly passed from player to player, thus creating a unified, gradual crescendo as well as an effective visual from stage left to right. It might be useful to have a look at the conductor’s score and note where the dynamics vary between players. Special attention to such details will help to insure that the melodic content will be suitably balanced and the character of the music will remain light and airy. Performed accordingly, the coda’s unique charm is sure to bring a smile to all.
- Brian Slawson
