Mendelssohn and Marx agreed to write the libretto for an oratorio to be composed by the other. Mendelssohn wrote a text on the subject of Moses and Marx on St. Paul. However Mendelssohn's later oratorio on St. Paul used an extensively revised text; and when Marx asked Mendelssohn to perform his Moses in 1841 in Leipzig, Mendelssohn refused. The enraged Marx thereupon threw his extensive correspondence with Mendelssohn into the river, and so it has been lost forever. Moses was later performed by Liszt at Weimar in 1853.(info from Wikipedia)
