Walking distance
Bach statue (Photo RV) Apart from being a great talent himself, Felix Mendelssohn made himself a name by starting a tradition with the Mattheus Passion. What I never realized is the geographical and historical situation that made him the ideal man for the job.
His teacher was one of Bach sons and he lived only a five minute walk from the famous Thomas Kirche where Bach worked the larger part of his career.
