Songs Without Words

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Luba Edlina

Songs Without Words is a series of short piano pieces by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, published between 1829 and 1845. These lyrical, song-like miniatures in the Romantic idiom showcase Mendelssohn's melodic writing and refinement of piano texture, and they occupy an important place in his output as accessible salon repertoire that influenced subsequent piano composers.
First released: 1st November 1991
