from Sonata 5 (Op. 65) by Felix Mendelssohn
Background
"Mendelssohn was one of the finest organists of his day. The Three Preludes and Fugues op.37, dedicated to Mozart's pupil Thomas Attwood, form a pendant to op.35. The Six Organ Sonatas op.65 (1845), teeming with artful fugues and chorales, summarize and epitomize Mendelssohn's rediscovery of Bach, and may have inspired Schumann's six fugues on B–A–C–H op.60." - Grove Music Online: "Mendelssohn, Felix, §10: Keyboard music" [1]
Visit the Wikipedia page on the Organ Works of Felix Mendelssohn for additional information - [2]
This movement is in an ABAB Coda form.

Mendelssohn gives registration instructions in his preface to Op. 65. In this movement, a piano dynamic is indicated. According to Mendelssohn, PIANO = a combination of several 8-foot stops. Where the PEDALS are indicated, the 8-foot and 16-foot stops should be combined.
