Denis Mason, ed. www.cpdl.org. If you
choose to use this edition, be aware of a
few typos in the voice parts, particularly
text underlay, and one or two notes. Be
warned also that the editor has so altered
the organ accompaniment, that it changes
the mood of the work, especially the fi nal
section, considerably. He may have been
trying to create a reduction of the orchestral
version rather than use Mendelssohn’s organ
accompaniment.
