I should like to call the pieces “3 Sonatas for the Organ” instead of “Voluntaries”.
Tell me if you like this title as well, if not,
I think “Voluntaries” will suit the pieces also, the more so as I do not know what
it means precisely.
Felix Mendelssohn wrote these lines to Charles Coventry in a letter dated 29 August 1844. Coventry was the proprietor of the English music publisher Coventry & Hollier and a great admirer of his friend Mendelssohn. As background for their correspondence in late summer of 1844, Mendelssohn had been commissioned to write organ music by Coventry & Hollier, organ music intended for the English market. The term voluntary is used for a piece of organ music bearing a certain resemblance to the classical French overture, with a slow followed by a fast movement.
