from Sonata 1 (Op. 65) by Felix Mendelssohn

Background

This movement is in quasi-sonata form.

Registration and Organs

Mendelssohn gives registration instructions in his preface to Op. 65. In this movement, there is ff on one manual and mp on a secondary manual. Mendelssohn did not specify what stops to use to achieve mp, but one could use the information he did give to deduce what stops to use to achieve mp. ff=full organ [organo pleno plus reeds] f=full organ without the loudest stops p=several 8' stops pp=one soft 8' stop

See the footnote in the "Notes" section at the bottom of the page. [1]

Fingering and Pedaling

Both the Peters and Dupre Editions of Mendelssohn's Organ Works contain fingering suggestions. Refer to both to see what fingerings/pedalings work for you. The Novello contains no fingering or pedaling.
