Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Sonata In E-Flat For Clarinet & Piano: Klarinette mit Begleitung

Edited for the first time based on the autograph.

The only wind instrument for which Felix Mendelssohn wrote any solo works is the Clarinet. This Sonata, written by a young Mendelssohn, isgenuine chamber music: the Clarinet and Piano are both used equally as a melody and an accompaniment instrument. The various playing characteristics of the Clarinet are not fully exploited; instead Mendelssohn focusesmore on the cantabile character of the instrument.
