20 Lieder by Felix Mendelssohn. High Voice and Piano. German. Intermediate to Advanced. MCL478

Mendelssohn composed a hundred lieder during approximately the same period of production as his contemporary Schumann. The composer was a childhood friend of Goethe, a poet for whom he put to music a dozen poems counting among them some masterpieces. Eichendorff, Heine and Uhland will also play an important role in his arrangements, although they have never matched the popularity of his predecessors. More intimate because of their peaceful and serene nature, Mendelssohn's songs were written primarily for singing at home rather than in large concert halls. In addition, six of the first twenty-four lieder he published were originally composed by his sister Fanny at a time when, unjustly, women could not claim the status of composers. Three of these lieder extracts from opus 9 have been included in this collection. This book has been made with care from the first editions and contains twenty lieder among the most appreciated by the composer.
