Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy fundamentally revised his « Elijah » after its successful world premiere in Birmingham in summer 1846. However, the individual layers of this revision are less visible in the autograph score than in the piano-vocal score that was made parallel to it and which the composer kept working on for its simultaneous publication in England and Germany. The bilingual piano-vocal score contains the first-ever correct underlay of the English vocal Text which William Bartholomew worked out in close collaboration with Mendelssohn.
