Intermediate Piano Pieces by Felix Mendelssohn

Felix Mendelssohn for the intermediate pianist

Intermediate repertoire assumes a confident reader at the piano with three to seven years of study. Voice-leading between hands, ornament technique, basic pedalling, and the ability to shape a melodic line over an accompanying texture all come into play. Many of the most beloved Romantic miniatures sit here.

Felix Mendelssohn's eight books of Lieder ohne Worte are among the most enduring nineteenth-century miniatures — singing right-hand melodies over a luminous, well-organised accompaniment. The Variations sérieuses and the Rondo capriccioso extend his keyboard reach.

The works below are drawn exclusively from Felix Mendelssohn's output that fits the intermediate-level technical and interpretive demands described above. They are sortable, downloadable as PDF score editions, and free to study, perform, record, and re-engrave under the public-domain status of the underlying compositions.

For pianists building a recital programme, exam syllabus, or sight-reading routine focused on a single composer at a chosen technical tier, this is the most direct way to navigate the catalogue. Cross-reference with the full Felix Mendelssohn works list to see what sits a level above or below.
