Mendelssohn - Song Without Words (Lieder ohne Worte) Book 5, Op. 62 (PDF Sheet Music / Digital Download)

Enter the exquisite musical parlor of Felix Mendelssohn with Songs Without Words (Lieder ohne Worte), Book 5, Opus 62. This collection of six solo piano miniatures stands as a pinnacle of the Romantic character piece, showcasing Mendelssohn’s unparalleled gift for melody, grace, and structural elegance. True to their title, these "Songs" convey deep emotion and clear narrative without the need for text, making them some of the most accessible and cherished works in the piano repertoire.

Opus 62 is most famously home to the beloved No. 6, the "Spring Song" (Frühlingslied), a jewel of light, soaring melody and joyful, intricate accompaniment that perfectly captures the exuberance of the season. Beyond this celebrated piece, the book offers a rich emotional spectrum, from the thoughtful melancholy of the opening Andante espressivo (No. 1) to the gentle, rocking rhythm of the Venetian Gondola Song (No. 5).

This edition is a reissue of music originally published by C.F. Peters, Leipzig.
