from Sonata 2 (Op. 65) by Felix Mendelssohn
Background
This movement is in a prelude form.
Registration and Organs
Mendelssohn gives general registration instructions in his preface to Op. 65. In this movement, the music is played on the same manual and a forte dynamic is indicated. According to Mendelssohn, forte is achieved by using the "full organ without the loudest stops"
See the footnote in the "Notes" section at the bottom of the page. [1]
