Summary

edit
Description
English: Manuscript of Mendelssohn's Oratorio 'Elijah'. The work was commissioned by the Birmingham Music Festival for a first performance in 1846. The manuscript depicted was used at that first midday concert by the organist H J Gauntlet and is held by the Library of Birmingham. It is the work of a German Copyist, but contains amendments by the composer and organist and examples of material later removed or replaced by Mendelssohn in time for repeat performances the following year.
