Summary of This Score
This volume 1 offers a comprehensive overview of Felix Mendelssohn's piano writing, covering both brilliant pieces and more introspective pages. It notably includes the Capriccio in F-sharp minor, Op. 5, the Sonata in E major, Op. 6, and the famous Rondo Capriccioso, Op. 14, three essential milestones of the Romantic piano repertoire.
The table of contents also highlights contrasting and complementary forms: étude, fantasies (including the "Scottish Sonata," Op. 28, and the fantasy on "The Last Rose of Summer," Op. 15), caprices, character pieces (Op. 7), as well as a structuring corpus of preludes and fugues (Op. 35) to approach the work on polyphony, articulation, and voice leading.
Enthusiasts of thematic construction and technical mastery will also appreciate the presence of major variation works, including the Serious Variations in D minor, Op. 54, as well as sets of variations (Op. 82 and Op. 83). The whole constitutes a solid foundation to enrich one's solo piano score repertoire, refine touch, and develop a sense of phrasing characteristic of Mendelssohn's aesthetic.
