Please welcome to Felixcitations the eminent Mendelssohn scholar R. Larry Todd, author of the definitive biography, Mendelssohn: A Life in Music. He is Arts and Sciences Professor of Music at Duke University, has devoted the majority of his academic career to the study of our Felix and is shortly to publish a biography of Fanny Mendelssohn-Hensel. In this exclusive interview, he talks to me about how he set about reconstructing Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto No.3, which is being performed in New York this weekend and has recently been published.
