Taylor makes his case carefully and convincingly, and the volume represents a substantial contribution to the understanding of cyclic forms in nineteenth-century instrumental music. The overview provided by the opening chapter will be a useful reference for students, and the lengthy accounts of individual works (material from two of which previously appeared in 19th-Century Music, 32 (2008), 131–59; and Musical Quarterly, 93 (2010), 45–89), supported by dozens of music examples and analytical diagrams, offer a variety of perspectives on the (inevitably) recurring themes of time and memory.
Felix Mendelssohn has long been viewed as one of the most historically minded composers in western music. This book explores the conceptions of time, memory and history found in his instrumental compositions, presenting an intriguing new perspective on his ever-popular music. Focusing on Mendelssohn's innovative development of cyclic form, Taylor investigates how the composer was influenced by the aesthetic and philosophical movements of the period. This is of key importance not only for reconsideration of Mendelssohn's work and its position in nineteenth-century culture, but also more generally concerning the relationship between music, time and subjectivity. One of very few detailed accounts of Mendelssohn's music, the study presents a new and provocative reading of the meaning of the composer's work by connecting it to wider cultural and philosophical ideas.
