His work includes symphonies concerti oratorios piano and chamber music. After a long period of relative denigration due to changing musical tastes and anti Semitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries his creative originality is now being recognized and re-evaluated.

To a large degree his music reflects a fundamental tension between Classicism and Romanticism in the generation of German composers after Beethoven . <br /> <br /> . The origins of the Lieder ohne Worte of which Mendelssohn published 36 pieces in six volumes between 1832 and 1845 two more volumes followed posthumously remain couched in mystery. Among his earliest piano lieder was one in E♭ written for Fanny's birthday in 1828 Fanny herself composed numerous examples of the genre; the idea of creating songlike piano pieces may have originated in a game Fanny and Felix played in which they apparently added texts to piano pieces. Then too the critical thought of A.B. Marx who explored in his writings of the 1820s the expressive potential and 'definiteness' of instrumental music was not without impact. Most of the lieder fall into three groups pianistic parallels to the vocal categories of solo songs duets and partsongs. The meaning of the new genre perplexed Mendelssohn's contemporaries. Schumann suggested that the composer had produced texted lieder but then suppressed the texts; when the composer's cousin Marc-André Souchay offered to give some of the lieder fanciful titles Mendelssohn replied that he had intended each lied 'just as it stands'. Only a small number of the lieder bear titles from Mendelssohn e.g. the three called Venetianisches Gondellied or his circle e.g. the 'Frühlingslied'; nevertheless later in the 19th century a host of insipid titles accrued to the lieder contributing to the view of Mendelssohn as a composer of overtly sentimental piano music for the parlour."
