Sona ta 7 in D major opens with a sunny Andante that nevertheless has a poignant moment just before the end. The technically challenging Allegro moderato that follows bounces along airily, throwing out scales, arpeggios and wide leaps with equal abandon. The concluding Allegro is a feast of syncopation: an object lesson in how to compose a coherent movement based on a single idea that never comes close to sounding tedious. Sonata 8, in the same key, is the only work in the set to arrange its three movements in a Fast–Slow–F ast pattern. Its opening Allegro is especially well-developed formally, coming close to mature Classical sonata style. For the Adagio in B minor Balicourt takes a chromatic idea heard earlier in the first movement and develops it intensively and poignantly: this is the ‘jewel’ of the slow movements in the set. The Moderato finale is enlivened with some interesting modulations and harmonic twists as well as some attractive moments of animation in the bass.

The Four Pieces, Op. 70 were written for Cello and Piano in Berlin, 1896. The four movements are titled:

Aria, Finnish, Scottish and Swedish

1. Aria is an Adagio in A minor reminiscent of the Kol Nidre
2. Finnish is a brooding lyrical Andante in G Minor
3. Scottish is a proud song in B major with dotted rhythms
4. Swedish, an unruly Allegro dance in A-B-A form in A minor

For advanced performers, this work of about 12 minutes in length has been superbly arranged by Ralph Sauer.

Mendelssohn 's lyrical piano pieces 'Lieder ohne Worte' [Songs without Words] are among the most popular of his compositions. Over 25 years Mendelssohn published his song-like melodies in 8 volumes altogether, consisting of 6 pieces each. Accordingly, the groups of works are now published in separate editions in the Edition Schott series.
