Book Reviews of Mendelssohn: Songs Without Words for the Piano (Schirmer's Library of Musical Classics Vol. 58)
Book Review: Over-edited.
Summary: 2 Stars
I always like the layout and look of the Schirmer editions, but I ended up returning this one in favor of an urtext edition because it was so heavily edited. It seemed that nearly every measure had some editorital addition, and while I don't mind a little bit of commentary to clear up a phrasing or dynamic issue, this was really over the top.
