Six Organ Sonatas

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Konstantin Volostnov

Six Organ Sonatas is a set of organ sonatas by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, published in 1845. The works are Romantic-era organ pieces that draw on Baroque forms and contrapuntal techniques, featuring chorale-influenced themes, fugal writing and demanding pedal passages, and they occupy a late place in Mendelssohn's output where he contributed to the 19th-century revival of earlier organ repertoire.
