Mendelssohn: Songs Without Words (Complete) (Comb Bound Book)

By Felix Mendelssohn / ed. Maurice Hinson

These 48 pieces were composed over a period of two decades, beginning in 1832, and published in eight groups of six each. Many of these songs were dedicated to the women in Mendelssohn's life and reflect the sunniest qualities of his melodiousness, spontaneity and invention. Maurice Hinson has skillfully researched and edited these works back to their original form and provides a very informative introduction, which includes many detailed suggestions for a stylistic interpretation and performance, as well as biographical information on the composer's life. The comb binding creates a lay-flat book that is perfect for study and performance.
