The Songs Without Words, Op. 19b, by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy belong to the most well-known and most frequently performed piano works of the Romantic era. The six character pieces unfold great stylistic variety – from peaceful, cantabile flowing melodies to lively, dance-like movements through to restless, agitated and melancholic swaying pieces, including the famous Venetian Gondola Song. This sheet music edition is excellent for advanced players who wish to deepen their cantabile playing, the balance between melody and accompaniment, differentiated phrasing and refined pedal treatment. In this collection you can work through Mendelssohn's Romantic musical language in all its diversity – ideal as a focused study and performance edition for piano.
