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
