MENDELSSOHN BARTHOLDY, Felix (1809-1847). AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED of Im Frühling , opus 9 no. 4, inscribed and dated Leipzig den 6 t e n December 1845 , 2 pages, 55 bars, black ink on plain sheets with handdrawn staves, quarto, 284 x 233mm., bound with the published song in Novello's edition of Peters collected Mendelssohn songs, later dark blue board bearing a descriptive label and the Puttick and Simpson lotting label no. 86, Leipzig, 6 December 1845 This manuscript is a charming legacy of the close association between Jenny Lind and Mendelssohn and would seem to have been presented by the composer on the day that the singer left Leipzig after her triumphs of the previous two days at the Gewandhaus . Mendelssohn and 'the Swedish nightingale' first met in the autumn of 1844 and fast established an inspirational regard for each other's musicianship, which caused a degree of coolness between Mendelssohn's wife Cecile and the singer. On 3 December 1845, at Mendelssohn's invitation, Lind travelled with the composer to Leipzig from Berlin. She gave the first concert with Mendelssohn at the Gewandhaus the next day, followed by a benefit concert for the Gewandhaus orchestra widows on 5 December. Both concerts were huge successes: the hall was packed out and the price of the tickets for the concert on 4 December was doubled. The students of the Conservatory were denied their usual rights of admission to the concert and intriguingly chose Otto Goldschmidt to be their, unsuccessful, spokesman in their protest to the authorities. Goldschmidt did, however, procure a ticket for himself and the occasion was the first time that the paths of Lind and her future husband crossed. While in Leipzig Lind stayed with Mme Frederick Brockhaus, Wagner's sister. Lind remained extremely close to Mendelssohn right up to the latter's death just under two years after her visit to Leipzig which this manuscript commemorates. Im Frühling was composed on 3 April 1829 and published in a set of twelve songs, three of which were by Fanny Mendelssohn.
