How many compositions did Felix mendelssohn write?

Answer 1

Here is something I wrote as if I were Moses...

My name is Moses Mendelssohn. I was born in Dessau, Germany September 6th 1729. I was a German Jewish philosopher. When I was only a child I was diagnosd and suffered from a curved spine. I also changed my last name to Mendelssohn, honouring my father, Mendel. I had my wife, Fromet Guggenheim, my three sons, Joseph, Abraham, and Nathan, then my three daughters, Dorothea, Recha, and Henriette.

I taught my self a lot of things like spelling and philosophy. With my small earnings I bought a Latin copy of john Locke's essay about the human understanding and I learnt it with a Latin dictionary. I was the first Jew to bring orthodox Jewish life I argued with many people about what makes Judaism unique. I wrote many philosophical essays and I was considered the father of the Jewish Enlightenment.

My family was very poor, but we managed to learn things and survive. My father was a Torah scribe. I began a traditional Jewish education under David Fraenkel, the rabbi of Dessau. When David became rabbi of Berlin, and I became 14 years old, I followed him and studied in Fraenkel's yeshiva in Berlin. I soon became a scholar of Talmud and Rabbinics. I got free meals from neighborhood families and I was offered very odd teaching and tutoring jobs.

In addition to knowing the German and Hebrew languages, I had to study French, Italian, English, Latin and Greek.

Another perspective:

Presuming that the writer of the question was actually asking about German composer Felix Mendelssohn, he wrote five symphonies for full orchestra, and twelve string symphonies.

Answer 2

He composed 121 works, which were given opus numbers (including 104a and 104b). Not given opus numbers: He composed: * 13 string symphonies * 2 violin sonatas * A few early concertos * 1 Piano Quartet * 1 Clarinet Sonata * 1 Etude for Piano * 2 Scherzos * 1 String Quartet * 19 miscellaneous pieces See related link below for more information.

Answer 3

There are 150 musical works with Opus or WoO-numbers, and another 40 that have not been numbered. Several of those opus however have titles like: "six songs for voice and piano" or "Three preludes", so the induvidual works will probably number around 250, certainly if we count a number of works that we know have been lost.
