Extra Information Mendelssohn composed these when he was 12 years old while studying with Carl Friedrich Zelter. These fugues were not composed with performance in mind, but as counterpoint exercises.
Mendelssohn also used chorale melodies to experiment with the cantus firmus technique in some of the fugues. There are 17 fugues in the R 1-17 section, but R9, R10, R13, R15 and R16 are incomplete and not listed here.
