Mendelssohn, Felix - Six Christmas Pieces Op.72

These short pieces were written as Christmas presents for various young members of a family Mendelssohn and his wife stayed with on their visit to London in 1842. Tuneful and well contrasted, they form an excellent introduction to Mendelssohn's piano music.
