At the age of 23, many young people have ambitious dreams, fewer have clear plans, and still fewer will see them realized. At 23, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy had already achieved a number of goals, each of which would fulfil a musician’s life. He had already written an unforgettable masterpiece such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream; he had conducted and rediscovered Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion; he had an outstanding culture and an amiable personality.
However, of course, he still had many projects. And, at 23, he wrote to his beloved sister, Fanny: “I should like to compose a couple of good trios”. And two “good” – or rather magnificent – piano trios he would write.
