The Price of Assimilation: Felix Mendelssohn and the Nineteenth-Century Anti-Semitic Tradition
Sposato, Jeffrey S. (Assistant Professor of Music, Assistant Professor of Music, University of Pittsburgh)
Offers a revisionist account of Felix Mendelssohn's relationship to his Jewish roots. Challenging the notion that Mendelssohn's identity was strongly informed by a sense of Jewishness, a view that came into currency after World War II, this book argues Mendelssohn consciously attempted to distance himself from his Jewish heritage.
