Mendelssohn: Violin Sonatas

Description

This is the first Urtext edition of Mendelssohn's Sonatas for Violin and Piano. It contains the early Sonata in F Major of 1820 and the Sonata in F Minor of 1823, which the 14-year-old composer began with an extended solo recitative for the violin. The edition also includes two versions of the F Major sonata of 1838 which Mendelssohn began revising in 1839, though this was restricted to the revision of a Major part of the first movement.
