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]

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.
