i'm playing this now.

Thank you for your kind comment, and good luck with your own study of the piece.

[chelley64]

thanks so much!

it's pretty hard at first :(

[MichaeL12343599]

Great playing! I've been trying to find this song so thanks!!!

[PSearPianist]

Thank you - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[zrshwe]

You can really make the tune sing out wonderfully.

[PSearPianist]

Thanks - I try!

[KearneyPiano]

strange i thought you loked vey stiff at some points

[PSearPianist]

That is possible - it is quite an awkward piece in that the combination of large repeated chords in the right hand and octave passages in the left is hard to play with great freedom.

[spatulaflipper]

thank you so much for posting this!

i love the way your hands move when your playing piano! again, thanks!

[PSearPianist]

When I play piano I move in such a way to avoid getting tense or stiff. I sometimes have to play for over three hours at a stretch so it is important to be able to do that!

[spatulaflipper]

wow.. my old teacher use to tell me i was good but now my new teacher says i dont balance my hand properly! its kind of frustrating!

[menancyandsam]

Sounds great, thanks for sharing.

As for Heller's Songs without words his Op. 105 is titled Drei Lieder ohne Worte (Three Songs without Words). I have the sheets but have never heard them played. Would anybody care to share a video with the internet community.

[PianoScales]

Thats a challenge. Good idea. I'll try to find it out.

[menancyandsam]

Cool... would love to hear this opus. If you can't find the sheets I'd be happy to share my copy.

[PianoScales]

"...I believe it is sometimes known as 'Sailor's Song'..." A song, maybe. The problem is that it carries too much dynamics and notes in both hands we cant "sing" it properly like a Mendelssohn's song without words or Schubert's impromptu... Its impossible!

[PSearPianist]

That's right. The repeated chords are difficult to manage on any modern piano (except perhaps one of a better quality than mine). The piece does not really run like a song without words in any event. I'm not sure where the title comes from - it is not in my copy but does appear on a listing of the studies I have seen on the Web.
