Felix Mendelssohn Cello Sonata No. 2 in D Major, op. 58
Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) and Chopin (1810 - 1849) were contemporaries. Written in the 1840's, their cello sonatas conformed to the classical layout, an extensive use of the Sonata form and division in four movements, yet infused with a Romantic spirit. The pieces are rarely, even if unjustly, played in live concerts, particularly in Australia.
