In the last year of his life, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809-1847) composed the six charming Children's Pieces, op. 72 (EB 8317). In contrast to the collections of children's pieces (by Schumann or Reger, for example), these have remained relatively unknown. Admittedly, however, they here and there demand technical and musical accomplishments that are beyond those to be expexted of beginners and belong to an intermediate stage of instruction. In the present edition, minor re-arrangements and cuts (in op. 72 no. 6) are intended to make the music more accessible to a child's understanding. The Songs without Words presented here are musically more demanding. From the total of 48 pieces, I have selected three slow compositions in which simple, beautiful melodie lines are supported by chorale-like piano textures. True performance of these pieces requires clean polyphonic chord playing and a cultivated pedal technique. The selection of pieces in this edition will, it is hoped, stimulate renewed interest in the piano music of Mendelssohn, which is so neglected today.

The entire musical material of the sonata comes from the chorale 'Nun danket alle Gott' as well as the notes B-A-C-H. As to its form, the sonata principally is a four-movement work the parts of which, however, immediately blend into each other, thus giving the impression of a one-movement composition. At the heart of the work are four variations in which the chorale (in the setting of J. S. Bach) is modified. Stefan Heucke.

For these piano pieces, Bob Moore has selected ten of the best-known, most widely-used hymn tunes. His approach, however, helps us encounter and hear them in new ways. Moore gives these pieces an improvisatory feel, yet makes the tunes readily recognizable for the listener. Well within the abilities of intermediate-level pianists, this is a collection you’ll turn to time and again.
