'The success was beyond what I could have dreamed', (1907). Mendelssohn visited London several times and conducted Philharmonic concerts. He wrote about the performance of his work at the Argyll Rooms in Regent Street: 'the success at the concert last night was beyond what I could ever have dreamed. It began with the Symphony...and I was received with immense applause. The Adagio was encored; I preferred to bow my thanks and go on, for fear of tiring the audience, but the Scherzo was so vigorously encored that I felt obliged to repeat it, and after the finale they continued applauding, while I was thanking the orchestra and shaking hands, and until I had left the room.' An episode from the life of German composer Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847). From "Story-Lives of Great Musicians", by F.J. Rowbotham. [Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. Ltd, London, 1907]
