text: First seeing the instrument in 1824 while on holiday in Northern Germany, Mendelssohn sketched the English bass horn in a letter to his sister and subsequently scored the instrument in his Ouverture fur Vollstande Harmonie-Musik (1824), Harmonie marches for Dusseldorf harmonie (1833-4), Trauer-Marsch (1836) and, most notably, in his overture to Ein Sommernachtstraum (1826) where the English bass horn is aligned with one of the comedic characters in the play, suggesting its ability to obtain a more boisterous, rough tone quality in contrast to Mendelssohn’s earlier description of the instrument having a deep, beautiful sound.
