Felix Mendelssohn is listed among the students of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, indicating that he studied under the Austrian composer and piano virtuoso. Although the article does not specify dates or locations of their lessons, Hummel’s reputation as a leading pianist and influential teacher, active primarily in Vienna and later Weimar, suggests that Mendelssohn received instruction from him during Hummel’s mature teaching career. This connection places Mendelssohn within the pedagogical lineage of Mozart, Salieri, Albrechtsberger, and Haydn, all of whom had taught Hummel earlier in his life.
