Organ Sonatas, Op. 65 (Mendelssohn)
Felix Mendelssohn's six Organ Sonatas, Op. 65, were published in 1845. Mendelssohn's biographer Eric Werner has written of them, 'next to Bach's works, Mendelssohn's Organ Sonatas belong to the required repertory of all organists'.〔Werner (1963), 424〕
==Background==
Mendelssohn was a skilled organist and during his visits to Britain gave a number of well-received organ recitals. These often included the improvisations for which he was famous (e.g. at his recitals during his 1842 tour in London and Oxford).〔Todd (2003), 437–8.〕 In an article in the magazine ''Musical World'' of 1838, the English organist Henry John Gauntlett noted:
His execution of Bach's music is transcendently great () His extempore playing is very diversified – the soft movements full of tenderness and expression, exquisitely beautiful and impassioned () In his loud preludes there are an endless variety of new ideas () and the pedal passages so novel and independent () as to take his auditor quite by surprise〔Cited in Brown (2003), 214–5〕
These qualities are evident in the organ sonatas, which were commissioned as a 'set of voluntaries' by the English publishers Coventry and Hollier in 1844, (who also commissioned at the same time an edition by him of the organ chorales of J. S. Bach),〔Todd (2003), 478〕 and were published in 1845. Correspondence between Mendelssohn and Coventry relating to the Sonatas took place between August 1844 and May 1845. Mendelssohn suggested that Gauntlett undertake the proof reading but this was in fact probably carried out by Vincent Novello.〔Edwards (1895), 3〕 The publisher's original announcement referred to the work as 'Mendelssohn's School of Organ-Playing' (see illustration), but this title was rescinded at the composer's request.〔Werner (1963), 425〕
190 subscribers to the publication produced a sales income of £199/10/-. Mendelssohn himself received £60 from the publisher.〔Edwards (1895), 4〕
