Lieder ohne Worte
Mendelssohn also wrote other "Songs Without Words" not collected in volumes, and published only in recent years. Furthermore, original drafts exist for many of the 'Songs' many of which differ quite substantially from the eventually published versions. In 2008, the Italian pianist Roberto Prosseda recorded a collection of Mendelssohn's "Songs Without Words" for Decca Records totalling 56 , some of them never recorded before.
