APPARENTLY UNPUBLISHED. Mendelssohn befriended the family of the mining engineer and entrepeneur John Taylor during his first visit to England in 1829, and visited them at their house at Coed Dû (near Hawarden); he wrote the three piano pieces op.16 for Taylor's daughters. The present light-hearted composition may have been intended for Taylor's son (also John), as an imitation of the popular ballroom dance the 'Galop' ('possibly the simplest dance ever introduced into the ballroom', Grove 6), which, according to Grove, reached England in 1829 and was therefore presumably the dance of the season.
We are grateful to Peter Ward Jones for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
