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, F is indicated on the main manual and pp on a secondary manual. Mendelssohn did not specify what stops to use to achieve these dynamics, but one could use the information he did give to deduce what stops to use to achieve a f and pp on the organ you play on.
f=full organ without the loudest stops
pp=one soft 8' stop
