Felix MENDELSSOHN: Op. 19, No. 6

[bexutart]

to me sounds a bit slow and could use better pedaling...

just my thoughts

[semichiselful]

i played this in grade 6 for my friends parents and one thought it was depressing, i personally think its breath taking which was why i chose it :)

[roelhart777]

Nice and slow which evokes the right mood. Sorry.., but the blonde (Urska B) plays it with a more sensitive touch

[DuskFeather13]

thank you so much for this im learning it and listening to is helps me, thank you!

[the30noemie]

fan de cette chansons !!=D

[maxstudiosalkesero]

this one is better that the op30 n6!

[filmloverql123]

Lovely piece My friend can play it brilliantly but she wasn't sure and really needed to listen- doesn't really have a teacher at the moment so thanks for giving her an idea of what it's supposed to sound like!!!! Thumbs up!!!!!

[Sylvain894]

Who are you cubusdk ?? Are you afraid to show your face ??

[symphonicharmonies]

Wow! Just simply beautiful! I am working on the "Songs Without Words" now and this is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

[filmloverql123]

favourited!!!

[cro508]

i used to play this. sometimes i wish i still played piano. i loved Mendelssohn and his style of music inspired me to write my own

[chinesepianist1]

This recording is the best i've heard of this song. However, the right hand should have more value. Also. it would be better if the phrasing is stressed out more.

[Pianofy]

I like these Gondelliederen

[Rachel1511]

c'est tout simplement magnifique !! 

[rdtcpsso]

That sounds like a digital piano.

[lijiakai]

You're supposed to play the right hand fingers 2 and 4 for the harmonic intervals for like the first 2 measures. otherwise, it sounds kinda broken.

[Enkil0423]

Amazing ^_^

[alex95187]

please tell me you have recorded op 117?? ive searched youtube for a good recording but nobody seems to catch the true essence of the song, and i feel that you, of all people, know how it should be played.

[Mylittlenebula]

Oh! Thank you! Is that the chord I am talking about? Do you know which one it is? I believe you do know which one I am talking about, because this makes sense. Thank you! I will go try it! :)

[Mylittlenebula]

I haven't played for over 20 years, and I am trying to teach myself this song. There is a cord that I am stuck on, but am not great with the techinical terms as far as notes and measures are concerned, but I will try my best to describe it if anyone can help me figure it out. It is on the left hand side and it is in the 14th "box" (you know how it is divided by lines) it is the cord c and e. I don't know how to play it since it it b flat and c sharp, isn't that the same note?

[dillpickle212]

no.. C sharp and B flat are two different notes... B sharp and C are the same or C flat and B..

[Mylittlenebula]

Thank you so much. Would you happen to know which cord I am referring to on top? I don't know how to play that. You are too kind. Thank you again. :)

[dillpickle212]

@Mylittlenebula I'm not sure which one you mean, sorry. What measure is it on?

[Mylittlenebula]

I am not sure how much better to describe than the way I did above. It is in the 14th section (measure?), I am not sure what to call it. It is on the left hand side and the cord c and b (I made a mistake in the earlier post) There is a sharp sign next to the note b and right next to that is the note c. So if the sharp is for the b then it would be the same note as c. But originally b is always a flat in this piece. I am too confused and I hope I just didn't confuse you.

[TheChipster91]

Sine the key signature defaults the B to a B flat, the sharp would only apply for the C. Though, it appears differently on the staff paper, it is a minor third and the arranger preferred notating it that way rather than putting a D flat there instead.

[Mylittlenebula]

Thank you so much! So what you are saying is that the sharp applies to the C and not the B even though it is closer to the B. I think I get it!!! You are too sweet. Have a WONDERFUL New Year! :D

[TheChipster91]

Yep! The way it was notated in the music is just slightly confusing. Now you're on to its deviance! It's a minor third in disguise.

[Mylittlenebula]

Thank you again! I don't know what you mean by a minor third in disguise since I am not very fluent int he language of music, but I get it! :D

[Mylittlenebula]

This is defintely one of the best versions I have heard. I keep looking for the sheet music online, but I only find them with one page of music. Does anyone know where I can find the whole piece on the sheet, without cost?

[Cimasiello00]

By far the best interpretation of this piece I have ever heard. Extraordinary. Thank you.

[journalwriter]

This is ridiculous...

Ridiculously awesome! Beautiful, well done. I have the sheet music to this and I wanted to know what it sounded like.  You, by far, are the only one that plays it perfectly.

[MelodyMusica24]

I think it's nice the way you play it. :D

[fsharpmajor]

This is slow. Too slow.!!

[ryanatcentral]

This is done very well, but I agree it is too slow in my opinion.

[Danechkapiano]

Класс! Очень красивая пьеса и замечательное исполнение! 5\5

[Bryan6446]

i'm not sure about yours but on my music it says Andante Sostenuto, meaning at a wakling pace.

speed it up!

apart from that, good job

[Millyshyn]

At a walking pace isn't fast is it? I can very well imagine walking at the pace he's playing..

Anyway, play it any faster and you lose a lot of the expression/emotion of the piece.

[freshechidna]

andante "sostenuto".

[nanotechxe]

Lovely......

[morvensky]

at about 2:08 you should do a crescendo and at the chords at about 2:12 play them as loud as you want and at about 2:14 do a diminuendo and by the way you don't have to play those chords staccato.

[Kingmannie]

This is in 6/8 not 4/4..

[pudunda]

amazing performance. i love this piece but always hated those staccatos they make me seasick

[pianoman159]

i'm learning this piece right now.

:D

I LOVE IT!

[Arturocm77]

Excelente!

[morvensky]

did you pedal? good playing tho

[TheConfuter]

I'm sorry but I really missed the climax here, but for the rest a good job. But please try to play more Forte at the second part.

[Toxxic88]

Wow, words cannot describe the beauty of this piece. It is my wish to not only play at your amazing technical ability one day, but to also have such a virtuosic interpretation as well.

Fantastic job *****

[cubusdk]

I'm looking forward to see your first posting of a piano piece.

Several of the Mendelssohn Songs Without Words (there are 48 in total) are rather catchy and easy to play also.

[pilla89]

agreed... my personal favorites are op.19- no.1, no.3, no.5, no.6

and op.30- no.1, no,2

[pilla89]

@cubusdk... im not sure if you're familiar with the composer Adolf von Henselt, he's a rather obscure romantic era composer best known for his etudes.. i would definitely suggest giving him a listen and potentially tackling on of his pieces.. although some do require quite a bit of virtuosity

[mistmv12]

beautiful play as usual

[casyopea1977]

Your playing is first class. It's really a pleasure to watch your pieces, keep on posting!

[MathijsGiltjes1993]

Nice!
