FELIX MENDELSSOHN (1809-1847): Complete Solo Piano Music, Vol. 3 - Étude in F Minor, WoO 1, Scherzo in B Minor, WoO 2, Scherzo a capriccio in F Sharp Minor, WoO 3, 3 Caprices, Op. 33, Sonata in G Minor, Op. 105, 6 Songs Without Words Book IV, Op. 53, Lied in F Sharp Minor.

Description: This third of six volumes contains some under-recorded early pieces like the 1821 sonata (the opus number is posthumous) with its Classical outer movements and Romantic slow one, and the three WoO pieces listed above from 1829, 1835 and 1836. The notes are interesting in tracing Mendelssohn's original intent for some of them and how they ended up unpublished. Howard Shelley (piano).
