Felix Mendelssohn: Six Pieces for Children
This collection, composed while Mendelssohn was staying with his wife´s relatives in England during the summer of 1842, was first published shortly after the composer died in 1847.
In the original English edition, they were called Six Christmas Pieces, although they were not meant to convey any specially yuletide character. The German edition selected the name Kinderstücke, or Children´s Pieces – wholly appropriate, as Mendelssohn composed these short character pieces for members of his host family.
