Elegy ( Mendelssohn :Songs without Words,Op.85-4)

[AlC92575]

Very well played. Treat the lower part of the right hand as a separate entity and a little emphasis on phrasing then that couldnt have been done better my mendelssohn himself.

This is very, very good! Thank you for sharing your interpretation of such beautiful music.

You played that beautifully.Thank you for uploading it.

Thanks. I truly enjoyed your performance, the warm and rich tone. I would also love it if you could possibly play it a bit slower, to savor all the voices in the song and keep it more on the elegy side. (There's so much beauty and wonder in this piece that a slower pace might empahsize the elegy side more.) I'd be happy if you'd post that for me, if you're willing.

Thank you very much! Your music causes very nice feelings... I love this music very much.... I calms me down... I is amazing to my soul...

Beautifully played. One suggestion - try closing your eyes when you play it, and you will play it with more of the dynamics that Engrmat32 suggests. You're already at 99% with this piece - more feeling and passion will make it 100%. Keep up the great work and never stop playing. Piano is a lifelong journey.

Beautiful playing! I am learning this now and will post it within a few weeks (I hope). Since I am an older amateur pianist (77 y/o) my fingers do not move as easily as yours so I did some redistribution of the notes between the two hands, however, the notes are all there. If you don't mind a suggestion, I think you could have used a little more dynamics in your expression. , however, it is still very musical.

I love your playing of this piece, it is so beautiful.

I hope to learn it myself some day. Gorgeous!

@kaz63piano What is the difficulty of this piece? I only passed grade 5 and found it is almost impossible. The hands arrangement of the piece is tricky. But I love it.

[PurpleWhiteSnow]

@hkgweigwei Its grade 8, according to a competition in my area... This song was listed under the Grade 8 Section

[hkgweigwei]

@PurpleWhiteSnow Thank you. It is too hard for me as of now. I only passed Grade 5.

[BirdsBrasil]

Your interpretation is better than Barenboim's recording, friend.

Congratulations.

[Tedsta101]

@BirdsBrasil I REALLY love this interpretation, but I like Barenboim's interpretation a little bit better. I like it when this piece moves.
