Friendship

Jacob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn - Bartholdy was born February 3, 1809. He grew up in an atmosphere of privileged wealth: what Harold Schonberg refers to as "...almost grim culture." His father, Abraham Mendelssohn, who was the son of the eminent philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, was an influential banker and played an important role in the social, intellectual and artistic city of Berlin. He married Lea Soloman, the granddaughter of one of Berlin's most affluent citizens. Their four children were given the finest education available. The atmosphere of their home was sophisticated, elite and enlightened and as a result they became singleminded and serious.
Many famous musicians, artists, philosophers, and literary figures of the day attended the Mendelssohn family's Sunday evening concerts. During these growing - up years Felix established friendships with Goethe and Hegel. Goethe's emphasis on the dynamic and productive aspects of art and Hegel's belief that "even in instrumental music the composer should devote equal attention to two aspects - musical structure, and the expression of an admittedly indeterminate content, "greatly influenced Mendelssohn's tendency toward the classical period's values of clear ideas and pure form.

The opera The Great Gatsby was commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera to honor the 25th anniversary of James Levine's debut. To assist in its preparation, the Met asked me to suggest a pianist to make a tape, with my participation, of the entire vocal score.
My choice was Judith Gordon. Her splendid account of the piece, in addition to its practical value, was a pianistic tour de force.
As a measure of my gratitude I made her a piece, the details of which she had already practiced. The three Gatsby Etudes do not follow the operatic chronology, but instead pursue some of its motivic trains of thought. They are pianistically challenging and fun to play. They conect without pause. They are dedicated, in gratitude and friendship, to Judy Gordon.
