Lieder ohne Worte (excerpts)

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Walter Gieseking

Lieder ohne Worte is a collection of short piano pieces by Felix Mendelssohn, composed between 1829 and 1845. The pieces exemplify Romantic-era piano miniatures, characterised by lyrical melodies, transparent textures and concise formal designs, and they span much of Mendelssohn's mature output, illustrating his approach to melody and form within the 19th-century piano repertoire.
