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 ABABA Coda form.
Registration and Organs
Mendelssohn gives registration instructions in his preface to Op. 65. In this movement, a forte dynamic is indicated. According to Mendelssohn, a forte dynamic = full organ without the admixture of any of the fullest stops. Where the PEDALS are indicated, the 8-foot and 16-foot stops should be combined.
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.
Articulation and Phrasing
Different editions contain different phrasing marks in the score. The Novello edition has a system that shows which phrase marks are used in what editions. Refer to that edition to compare phrasing as you make your own musical decisions.
Ornamentation
m. 104 contains a triple appogiatura. The three notes are played before the beat and the whole note is played on the downbeat of measure 104.
Tempo and Meter
Allegro maestoso
M.M. quarter note = 126
