Felix Mendelssohn
1809 – 1847
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 Songs Without Words remain a pedagogical and recital staple, and the Variations sérieuses stand as one of the great Romantic variation sets.
