Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 op. 40

The music text is based on the volume of the Leipzig Mendelssohn Complete Edition , in which Christoph Hellmundt rightly pointed to the existence of a secondary version for piano and string orchestra as well as an arrangement for piano solo made by the composer. Nevertheless, Mendelssohn’s op. 40 remains foremost a Concerto for piano and orchestra – a fact that is unequivocally underscored by the practical new edition.
