3 Oddly, Grimes produces one mistranslation of Hanslick that sounds, ironically, like the anti-Semitic Wagner. Hanslick wrote, ‘Zu Anfang heißt uns Mendelssohn den Gott der Juden anflehen um Segen für das Haus Israel und das Haus Aaron.’ Grimes translates thus: ‘To begin with we called on Mendelssohn, the God of the Jews, to implore a blessing on the house of Israel and the house of Aaron’ (p. 60). Correctly, this would read, ‘…Mendelssohn bids us to implore the God of the Jews for a blessing ….’
