Spring Song (Mendelssohn; Op. 62 #6)

Mendelssohn's ode to Spring. My performance doesn't quite convey the delicacy and perfection of the music as much as I would like (and I think I had the microphone in a bad location), but I did want to post this within at least calling distance of Spring (which has started early where I live), so here it is along with some pictures of flowers and water in the spring.

Choosing a tempo for this was a bit of a trouble to me; too fast and the grace notes became more-or-less rolled chords, and/or the sixteenths became more-or-less grace notes, which wasn't the desired effect, I think. Spring is lively, but not frantic.

Thank you! Spring is finally arriving here.... I planted close to 100 bulbs in the fall (daffodils, hyacinths, iris...) and am looking forward to seeing them. (Hopefully they won't get eaten by rabbits or squirrels.)

I'm happy to have given you some motivation, and happy that you are enjoying these videos. I liked your performance of the "Raindrop Prelude", but like you, I am rarely happy with my recordings. Practice is the only way to get better for most of us!

The play should be more vivid.
