in Two Volumes-The second volume of the outstanding Breitkopf and Hartel edition of Mendelssohn's complete works for solo piano.

On 13 June 1830 Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy finished his Rondo Capriccioso. After the Leipzig publishers Hofmeister and Breitkopf & Härtel had refused to publish the work – probably because of the seemingly excessive fee demanded by the composer – the work eventually was published by Mechetti in Vienna and J. B. Cramer Addison & Beale in London almost at the same time. Originally intended as a study Mendelssohn revised the piece and added an andante introduction thus managing to create one of his most outstanding Piano works which has maintained an unfailing popularity until today. The new editionof the Vienna Urtext Edition is based on all extant sources with the first edition from London being of particular significance.

An extensive volume filled with fugues from the last 350 years! Beginning with works by Frescobaldi Scarlatti Giambattista and Handel this collection features several compositions by the fugue's most famous expositor Johann Sebastian Bach including many pieces from the Well-Tempered Clavier. Contributions from latter-day composers include works by Mozart Beethoven Mendelssohn Robert and Clara Schumann Brahms and Saint-Saëns.

Beginning pianists of all ages will cherish this excellent compilation of classics. Each piece was carefully selected and simplified to help students develop their skills. Many of the greatest composersâ??J. S. Bach Beethoven Brahms Mendelssohn Mozart Rimsky-Korsakov Rachmaninoff Tchaikovsky and othersâ??are represented by several pieces each some newly adapted for the piano. Composers and works not usually featured in beginner's books include pieces by Borodin Gluck Rameau and Tallis.Well-known classics include Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 Debussy's Claire de Lune Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition Satie'sGymnopedie No. 1 Schumann's Child Falling Asleep and 'Spring' from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
