Leipzig’s prosperous merchants supported a rich musical culture.
Recent scholarship suggests that Bach wrote his Flute Sonata in
E minor during his early years in the city. Copenhagen-born Niels Gade,
who succeeded Mendelssohn as director of the Leipzig Conservatory
in 1847, modelled his Fantasiestücke Op. 43 on pioneering ‘fantasy
pieces’ by his friend Schumann.
