The score says it was composed in 1821, so he would have been 12, unless he wrote it in January, then he would have been 11.

This makes sense considering how "classical" the style is. It's certainly masterful but doesn't have the melancholy and whimsy of the mature Mendelssohn.

Jimmy Alderson, Yes, you are right! I also noticed that the piece was published only posthumously. It looks like this was the young Mendelssohn’s first attempt at piano sonata writing. Perhaps he never had any intention to publish it but somehow it was rediscovered in his notebooks after his death and was published by some publisher, which explains the rather high opus number.

An interesting aspect of this Sonata's first movement is Mendelssohn's use of the Beethovenian technique of "foreshortening" (to use Brendel's phrase) and a Haydnesque monothematicsm, in contrast with passages more reminiscent of Mozart. Echos of the Mozart C minor Sonata and Beethoven's Op.111 (the Allegro section of the 1st movement, particularly the start of the development section) are to be found. This is an early work obviously, but the early devotion to Beethoven is already apparent. This would later develop more creatively in the string quartet in A, the Hebrides Overture, the Variations Serieuses, and the C minor piano trio among others. Despite the 19th century nonsense put about by Wagner and Co., Mendelssohn is clearly in the Mozart/Beethoven line of composition..

I felt the third movement was a quiet tribute to JSBach, Even though I know she is probably not over influenced by Mendelssohn, young Alma Deutscher's music has this same elusive charm.

I like this piece and as someone who gave up on piano some years ago, I like that this might be something I’d be able to play, because I’d like to get back to it and I’m looking for new pieces to learn. I don’t think it deserves all the hate, nor unnecessary comparison to other composers’ early works, that’s always too tricky. And I think the rendition may not give it the proper justice, so the piece is not even entirely to blame. With all that said, thank you for sharing it!

It’s indeed crazy how people are hating on this piece without knowing much about it and its background. It’s actually the 1st Sonata attempt by an 11 year old Mendelssohn. He never even published. It’s basically a student work. The reason it has such a high opus number is because it was published posthumously. Someone must have discovered it in Mendelssohn’s old notebooks, gave it a number and an opus number and published it. Actually, it’s not a bad piece at all. Reminds me a bit of Beethoven’s 1st Sonata. I don’t find Chiu’s performance very convincing because he doesn’t seem to have a good sense for the harmonic direction or voicing in this piece. He is just playing notes.

Note: This piece was composed when Mendelssohn was 11. If he had the ability to let the listeners notice similarities between his and Mozart's (or Beethoven's) style, it's anonther expression of his genius. Knowing much enough about other composer's styles to "re-create" them in such a graceful way is an impressing thing, especially if you remind Mendelssohn was 11.
