'Lost' Mendelssohn song re-discovered (BBC)
A song written by German composer Mendelssohn has had its first public hearing since it went missing 140 years ago.Mendelssohn wrote the privately commissioned piece, titled The Heart of Man is Like a Mine, in 1842.
It was never published but the original manuscript has now emerged in a private collection in the US.
It will be sold at Christie's later this month, where it is expected to fetch £15,000 - £25,000.
The song was performed exclusively for the BBC's Radio 4 Today programme by Christopher Glynn and Amy Williamson from the Royal College of Music.
