Description
No. 5 from Songs Without Words, Op. 19, titled "Inquiétude." True to its name, restlessly moving figures express an unsettled mood, sustaining tension across more than eight minutes. With its dense note count, it calls for the advanced technique and stamina, standing out as an unusually demanding entry in the series. Its dramatic character is uncommon among the generally lyrical pieces in the collection.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.

About the Composer
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was a leading composer of the German Romantic era, celebrated as a child prodigy and instrumental in reviving interest in the then-neglected music of Bach. His piano cycle 'Songs Without Words' consists of lyrical character pieces that sing without text. This site includes seven pieces from that collection.
