MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY Felix (1809-1847)
L.A.S. "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy", Berlin 10 March 1844, to Robert FRANZ in Halle; 1 page in-4, address (crease cracks and tears without missing); in German.

Und daß dies für mich was sagen will, wissen Sie wohl! Das erste und zweite, (vor allem die erste Seite dieses 2ten, u. wieder vor allem der Anfang) dann das dritte und fünfte sind meine Lieblinge, obwohl ich sie alle lieb habe. Mögen Sie sehr, sehr viele Werke, eben so schön gefühlt, ebenso fein ausgeführt, ebenso eigenthümlich und so reich an Wohlklang diesem folgen lassen; If we
