Concerto for Piano No. 3 in E minor (Full Score)

Mendelssohn Concerto for Piano No. 3 in E minor (Full Score)

Reconstructed and completed by R. Larry Todd.

The Mendelssohn specialist R. Larry Todd has taken the short score of this piano concerto believed to have its origins in the period directly before Mendelssohn’s great E minor Violin Concerto.  He has completed the composer’s specified orchestration to the extant first two movements and added the scherzo-like 3rd movement of the E minor Violin Concerto with its solo part arranged for the piano like Beethoven’s reworking of his Violin Concerto for piano and orchestra.  Audiences now have the chance to hear this ‘sister’ work to the famous Violin Concerto combined with the much loved finale of opus 64.

- In-depth preface (Ger/Eng) on the history and genesis of the work.
