from Sonata 6 (Op. 65) by Felix Mendelssohn
Background
The final movement for Sonata no. 6 serves as a great starting place for learning Mendelssohn. It is only thirty-six measures long, and it is in the accessible key of D Major. The piece modulates from D Major to F# Minor, to C# Minor, and back to F# Minor before finally returning to D Major. The chief difficulty in performing this piece lies in the manual parts: for the most part there are only three voices in the manuals, but there are a handful of measures that have four manual voices. It is at these points that the fingering is most difficult.
Registration and Organs
The dynamic for this piece is p, which for Mendelssohn meant "a combination of several 8-foot stops." On a two manual organ you might consider coupling the manuals and using one or two of the softest 8' stops from each manual, ensuring that the stops blend well with each other. Soft 16' and 8' stops in the pedal with the manuals coupled would work well.
