Organ works by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: ecclesial or secular works?
Abstract
This article explores an issue about to what extent we can speak about Organ Sonatas Op.65 as ecclesial or as secular works. Dealing with this issue we have encountered different points of view of Russian and foreign musicologists. In this article we also enlighten some details of composer’s life which let us consider his organ works not only as secular ones, but also as sacred music. It can be confirmed by analyzing some variants of using Lutheran choral as well as by comparison between organ sonatas with tradition sonata da camera and sonata da chiesa.
