Sonates pour violoncelle & piano: N°1 en si bémol majeur, N°2 en ré majeur

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Paul Tortelier & Maria de la Pau

Sonates pour violoncelle & piano: N°1 en si bémol majeur, N°2 en ré majeur is a set of two cello sonatas by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in the early 1840s and published in 1843. The works exemplify Mendelssohn's Romantic chamber writing, combining classical sonata structures with lyrical melodic lines, agile piano figurations and close dialogue between cello and piano, and they sit within his later chamber output as examples of his interest in intimate, expressive forms.
