MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY, Felix (1809–1847). Autograph letter, Leipzig, May 11, 1846, to Ignaz SEYDLITZ, Cologne; 1 page, in-4 format, with address; in German. Regarding his participation in the Cologne Festival. Note: Mendelssohn confirms to the financier Seydlitz that he will be coming to Cologne, joking that he will have a hard time getting rid of him for the duration of the festival. He asks him to inform the members of the Committee of his travel dates, noting that if an emergency were to arise, one of the Committee members might perhaps meet him on May 27, upon the arrival of the boat between Frankfurt and Aachen, and he would hand him the score of his Bacchus Chorus (“die Partitur meines Bacchus-Choer im Arrangement”)... [In June 1846, Mendelssohn did indeed participate in the Cologne Festival, premiering his Cantata Op. 68, *An die Künstler*, and performing excerpts from *Antigone* featuring this Bacchus Chorus.]
