 The most famous example of this practice of reclaiming forgotten music is Mendelssohn's revival of Bach's "St. Matthew Passion" in Berlin (1829).The taste for rediscovered music was de rigueur among musicians and audiences of the nineteenth century, with composers lesser than Mendelssohn and Brahms participating as well.Parisotti found forgotten scores and arranged their arias (or duets) for solo singer and piano accompaniment.
