Felix Mendelssohn composed his "Song Without Words for piano No. 5 in F sharp minor, Op. 19b/5" in 1830. The piece was premiered in Leipzig in the same year. It is part of a set of eight short piano pieces that Mendelssohn composed between 1829 and 1830, which he called "Lieder ohne Worte" or "Songs Without Words." The "Song Without Words for piano No. 5 in F sharp minor, Op. 19b/5" is a slow and melancholic piece that is characterized by its lyrical melody and expressive harmonies. It is written in ternary form, with a melancholic and introspective A section that is contrasted by a more hopeful and optimistic B section. The piece is marked by Mendelssohn's characteristic use of chromaticism and his skillful handling of counterpoint. The opening of the piece features a descending melody that is accompanied by a simple arpeggiated figure in the left hand. The melody is then repeated with a more elaborate accompaniment that features a series of descending chromatic chords. The B section of the piece is marked by a change in key to F sharp major and a more lively and optimistic melody that is accompanied by a series of arpeggios in the left hand. Overall, the "Song Without Words for piano No. 5 in F sharp minor, Op. 19b/5" is a beautiful and introspective piece that showcases Mendelssohn's skill as a composer. Its expressive melody and harmonies have made it a popular piece among pianists and audiences alike.
