Felix Mendelssohn
COMPLETE
CHAMBER MUSIC
FOR STRINGS

These masterpieces in the chamber music repertoire are works perennially popu lar with players and listeners. All of them have been recorded and many appear frequently on chamber music programs. They have been reproduced directly from the famous and scholarly Breitkopf & Härtel series, an eminently readable edition, and contain all of Mendelssohn’s chamber music for strings, excluding only those pieces with piano.

The following works are included:

Octet in E-flat Major, Op. 20 Quintet No. 1 in A Major, Op. 18 Quintet No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 87 Quartet No. 1 in E-flat Major, Op. 12 Quartet No. 2 in A Major, Op. 13

Quartet No. 3 in D Major, Op. 44, No. 1 Quartet No. 4 in E Minor, Op. 44, No. 2 Quartet No. 5 in E-flat Major, Op. 44, No. 3 Quartet No. 6 in F Minor, Op. 80 Four Pieces for String Quartet, Op. 81

The music has been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily, and there is ample space between staves and in the margins for any notes, harmonic analyses, fingerings or annotations that you may want to record on the score. The edition is practical for almost any use, whether as a study guide, a reference or just a companion for your greater musical enjoyment.
