Songs Without Words

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Ginette Doyen

Songs Without Words is a collection of short piano pieces by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, composed between 1829 and 1845. Marking a key contribution to the Romantic piano repertoire, the pieces are lyrical, song-like miniatures that exemplify Mendelssohn's emphasis on melody, clear texture and classical balance within 19th-century salon and concert practice.
