Additional info/contents	Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy composed the music for William Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream at two different times. In 1826, at the age of 16, he wrote a concert overture (op. 21). Sixteen years later, in 1842, he composed incidental music (Opus 61) for King Frederick William IV of Prussia, into which he incorporated the existing overture. The overture was premiered in Stettin (then in Prussia, now Szczecin, Poland) on 20 February 1827, conducted by Carl Loewe. Mendelssohn had to drive 80 miles through a raging snowstorm to get to the concert, which became his first public performance. The British premiere of the overture was conducted by Mendelssohn himself at the Argyll Rooms in London on 24 June 1829. After the concert, Thomas Attwood was given the score of the overture for safekeeping, but left it in a taxi and it was never found. Mendelssohn later rewrote the overture completely from memory.
