Mendelssohn's beloved Songs without Words are the first pieces that come to mind when considering his piano works. However, this volume also contains other captivating compositions, including several of his charming children's pieces that can be favorably compared to Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen. Furthermore, in works like the Prelude in F minor, we can detect Mendelssohn's deep admiration as a German Romantic composer for the polyphonic style of J.S. Bach.
