Mendelssohn's Preludes and Fugues are a blend of Baroque and Romantic styles, and reveal Mendelssohn's great admiration of Johann Sebastian Bach. Although the set of six preludes and fugues were published in 1837, the fugue of this pair was written in 1827 around the time of the death of Mendelssohn's friend Hanstein. Although Mendelssohn did not dedicate this piece to Hanstein, it is likely that his friend's death was in his mind when he wrote the fugue. It opens in a very somber mood, soon becoming agitated and intense. After a long accelerando and an outbreak of octaves, Mendelssohn breaks from the fugue into a glorious chorale. The themes of the chorale are taken from several hymns, including A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, written by Martin Luther. After the chorale, the piece closes softly with the original themes. Mendelssohn would go on to use this "accelerating fugue" structure again in the first movement of his Organ Sonata No. 3 in A Major, which also incorporates a chorale melody. This performance is by Grant Smith at 17 years old.
