After rapid, plummeting scales the exposition maintains a high energy level, even during the cantabile second theme. Marked Presto, the finale is a fiery sonata-form movement in F sharp minor.
After the charming trio, with its simple melody in octaves, the scherzo material is repeated note for note, with an extension. A scherzo in form, the quaint movement features some thematic transformation of the main theme in the second half of the scherzo. Mendelssohn casts the second movement, Allegro con moto, in A major. In the coda, the main theme reappears, unharmonized and played with the pedal open. The recapitulation begins fortissimo, the first theme played an octave higher and over a driving, chromatic bass. Flashy arpeggios and octaves, marked Con moto agitato, form the central section. Quiet arpeggios return to lead to the secondary theme in the relative major. The ensuing Andante is melancholy in character with a simple, eight-measure theme. The first movement is in a loose sonata form and begins with introductory, ascending and wide-ranging arpeggios. The material of the Fantasia, however, is nothing like Beethoven's. 2 ("Moonlight" Sonata) in its overall format and minor key. In three movements, each at a faster tempo than the previous one, the Fantasia resembles Beethoven's Sonata quasi una fantasia, Op. Mendelssohn builds the Fantasia on simple, elegant themes that can be taken easily through various harmonies and transformed. It has all the marks of the composer's later "Scottish" works, including chords with open fifths, open harmonies, pedaling that creates a fuzzy effect, and powerful, dissonant crescendos. The F sharp minor Fantasia is generally considered one of the best examples of Mendelssohn's virtuoso works for the piano. 28, published in 1834 in Bonn, he suppressed the original title. This does not really present a problem, because pieces entitled "Écossaise" ("Scottish" in French) and based on a Scottish country dance had been popular in Europe for many years by 1828. What has puzzled some, however, is that if the "Sonata écossaise" originated in 1828, it could not have been inspired by Mendelssohn's 1829 trip to Scotland. However, letters from Mendelssohn to his sister suggest that the piece, then titled "Sonate écossaise" (Scottish Sonata), was written as early as 1828, linking it with Mendelssohn's conception of his Scottish Symphony and Hebrides overture. We know that the final manuscript was completed on January 29, 1833.
Your left hand’s ring and pinky fingers will be used on the 4th fret notes.Exactly when Mendelssohn composed his Fantasia in F sharp minor ("Sonate écossaise"), Op. Your left index finger is going to play all of the 2nd fret notes, by barring them. From thickest to thinnest strings, the frets we’ll playing are 2-4-4-2-2-2. In tablature form, the chord looks like this.

I’ll teach you how to play it, show a simplified version, and give a through practice exercises you can use to get fully comfortable with this chord. Unlike those two chords, you’re only using 3 of your left hand fingers for the F#m - which makes it more approachable for beginners, I would argue. This is usually one of the very first barre chords you’ll run into while learning how to play ye olde guitar - the others being F-major and B-minor. In this lesson, I’ll teach you how to play the F#m chord (F sharp minor).
