Revision as of 04:20, 4 March 2015
from Sonata 1 (Op. 65) by Felix Mendelssohn
Background
This movement is in ternary - ABA' form.
Registration and Organs
The dialogue between the two manuals should be of equal strength, but contrasting in sound. Both manuals indicate pp.
Swell Manual - 8' Strings (Viole Celeste)
Great Manual - 8' 4' Flute
Pedal - 16' 8' Flute
In the forward that precedes the Sonatas, Mendelssohn gives the following suggestion for PIANISSIMO as generally implying a soft 8- foot stop by itself for the manuals and 8' and 16' stops combined for the pedal registration.
See the footnote in the "Notes" section at the bottom of the page. [1]
Fingering and Pedaling
Strict attention should be given to writing in fingering in order to play very legato.
Both the Kalumus and Dupré editions give suggestions of effective fingering.
