The violin has been one of the most popular instruments frequently chosen by composers throughout the history of polyphonic music. From the Baroque period to the Classical era, from Romanticism to the contemporary period, the violin repertoire has been enriched with new works. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, one of the first great composers, took over the baton from Ludwig van Beethoven at the height of the Classical period and prepared the transition to high Romanticism, demonstrated prolific creativity from an early age and writing in almost all genres of music, becoming one of the most influential composers and musical figures of his generation. Thanks to the violin lessons he received from competent teachers during his childhood, Mendelssohn also became an accomplished violinist, frequently incorporating the violin in his compositions from his early works to the peak of his maturity, and contributing numerous violin pieces to the repertoire. In this study, the Violin and Piano Sonata in F Minor, Op. 4, composed by the composer in 1823, is discussed. After presenting the cornerstones of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's life, details about the music composition and technical features of the work are given together with examples of notes and suggestions are made for its performance.
