Felix Mendelssohn composed his six sonatas during 1844 and 1845. One finds in this music a blend of the piano, the orchestral and the contrapuntal style of Bach, interspersed with the beautifully lyrical sections, which distinguish Mendelssohn from all others. While obviously a matter of choice, it is probably more satisfying to listen to the works separately; else the continuous flavour of the music can become monotonous. Each is a symphony in itself sometimes of unusual form
