Mendelssohn: Piano Sonata Op 6

Mendelssohn composed or began nearly two hundred works for piano. Nevertheless, he saw only about seventy actually published. Mendelssohn’s youthful E Major Piano Sonata may seem lightweight for its time, composed in 1826, but it has all the nimbleness of spirit and melodic ingenuity that make his other early works so appealing. The sonata is an homage to Beethoven's opus 106 in A-major.
