Fictionalized version of real composer Felix Mendelssohn from the 1853 novel Charles Auchester by Elizabeth Sara Sheppard. The title character is a beginning musician who gets to work with him. The novel opens in 1833, and concludes with Seraphael's death in 1847, the same year as Mendelssohn's death.
Although Seraphael is himself a pianist, he wrote a lot music for the trombone.
One his pieces is titled Mer de Glace (Sea of Ice). He also wrote an oratorio.
"Chevalier" is the French word for knight, and is a title, not his actual name.
