Songs Without Words
Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Ilse von Alpenheim
Songs Without Words is a series of short piano pieces by Felix Mendelssohn, composed and published between 1829 and 1845. The pieces are lyrical miniatures that exemplify Romantic-era melodic expression and piano writing, and they form part of Mendelssohn's output that illustrates his song-like lyricism within nineteenth-century piano repertoire.
