About this product
In addition to his prodigious youthful genius as a composer, Mendelssohn was an exceptionally able pianist. Demonstrating an astonishing level of maturity beyond the composer's teenage years, this group of rare works is notable for a sequence of piano fugues with an impressive command of counterpoint and chorale harmonization, two sonatas which reveal the dual influences of the Baroque and more contemporary models such as Weber and Hummel, as well as a dashing 'Prestissimo in F minor' and a brilliant 'Vivace in C minor.' These early piano works are exceptionally rarely recorded. This will come at the 200th anniversary of the pieces. Album Tracks 1. Sonata in C minor (1820) 2. Sonata in a Minor (1820) 3. Sonatina in E Major (1821) 4. Andante in D Major (1826) 5. Prestissimo in F minor (1824) 6. Vivace in C minor (1826) 7. Fugue in D minor (I) (1822) 8. Fugue in D minor (II) (1822) 9. Fugue in B minor (1822) 10. Fugue in G minor (1824) 11. Fugue in C Sharp minor (1826) 12. Fugue in E Flat Major (1826)

Exciting perceptual shifts await the listener, presented here on the new Genuin CD by the Duo Lontano Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, suspended in a reverie, and the youthful-bubbly String Octet, which the composer himself arranged for black and white keys and four hands. The colorful images become transformed into dramatic black-and-white pictures and the structures emerge differently and more contoured than in the original version - particularly in the way the sensitive and excellently matched pianists Babette Hierholzer and Jürgen Appell - the Duo Lontano - embrace the tender romanticism of the works. Highly fascinating insights into the composer's workshop! Album Tracks 1. Octet in E-Flat Major, Op. 20 2. I. Allegro Moderato Ma Con Fuoco 3. II. Andante 4. III. Scherzo Allegro Leggiero 5. IV.
