Ever-present throughout the Baroque period, fairy tale and theatre also regularly featured in Romantic works, notably by Mendelssohn, who contributed to the rehabilitation of Baroque music. Testimony to this is the celebrated Midsummer Night’s Dream, a suite inspired by Shakespeare’s eponymous play. Likewise, in the phantasmagorical overture to Weber’s opera Oberon Elves, fairies and goblins all take centre stage, while the Konzertstück, a novel all about chivalry, interpreted by Russian pianist Alexei Volodin, is full of heroic charisma.
