Felix Mendelssohn Songs Without Words Romantic Piano MUSIC German Lieder
Felix Mendelssohn was a 19th-century
Romantic composer known for his symphonies, famed oratorios, chamber music, and
incidental music. One of his most recognized works, perhaps his most iconic, is
‘Songs Without Words’. In 1829,
Mendelssohn began working a series of piano solo works which were similar in
style to the German ‘lieder’ or song; however, Mendelssohn, instead of
including a vocal line, had the melody played by the piano itself, thus making
these songs, ‘songs without words’.
This edition of Mendelssohn’s famed ‘Songs’ includes the 5 of the books (each
with six songs) along with a number of separate piano works that were not
organized with an opus number. Works found in this edition include:
·
Book 2, Op. 30
·
Book 4, Op. 53
·
Book 5, Op. 62
·
Book 6, Op. 67
·
Book 7, Op. 85
