 A large portion of Mendelssohn 's 750 works still remained unpublished in the 1960s , but most of them have now been made available . A scholarly edition of Mendelssohn 's complete works and correspondence is in preparation but is expected to take many years to complete , and will be in excess of 150 volumes . This includes a modern and fully researched catalogue of his works , the Mendelssohn @-@ <unk> ( MWV ) . All of Mendelssohn 's oeuvre – including the most popular works such as the E minor Violin Concerto and the Italian Symphony – has been explored more deeply , and prior concepts about the Victorian conventionality of the oratorio Elijah have been shed . The frequently intense and dramatic world of Mendelssohn 's chamber works has been more fully recognized . Virtually all of Mendelssohn 's published works are now available on CD , and his works are frequently heard in the concert hall and on broadcasts . An English Heritage blue plaque commemorating Mendelssohn was placed at 4 Hobart Place in Belgravia , London , in 2013 . As the critic H. L. Mencken concluded , if Mendelssohn indeed missed true greatness , he missed it " by a hair " .
