This is one of my favourite Songs Without Words by Mendelssohn. Very enchanting and full of longing. Help me keep my piano in tune! Donations are greatly appreciated: ko-fi.com/mxchan Recorded on Kawai CS6
What can I say? You caress the music so sensitively that I CAN hear words right through the 'song' like beautiful, gorgeous, excellent and most importantly this is the best soothing ear balm there can be for tired ears. Bravo!
Sherlock Holmes played it at Watson's request ! "I see that I have alluded above to his powers upon the violin. These were very remarkable, but as eccentric as all his other accomplishments. That he could play pieces, and difficult pieces, I knew well, because at my request he has played me some of _Mendelssohn’s Lieder,_ and other favourites. When left to himself, however, he would seldom produce any music or attempt any recognized air." (A Study in Scarlet)
I just started level nine and you make it seem so easy. Thank you alot for the help. I hope I can play jist as good as you, even though the goal is far fetched because you play so perfectly. Once again, thank you!
Beautiful! I love the sound of your piano. I guess I had overlooked this piece before when playing some of the songs and and am happy to have (re) discovered it!
I wrote a comment in Japanese. Because I thought you are Japanese. Are you? My Spring piano recital is two weeks away, and I will play this piece, finally. My professor made me play this!! She changed some fingering, so I became to able to play this !! I hope I won't make so many mistakes :(
@@yuming8380 Sorry for a late reply. I just found your comment. I hope that your Spring Piano recital went well! I'm Taiwanese, living in Australia. :)
@@MXChan , Thank you for your reply. Yes, I performed Op.30 No.1 for Spring recital. I did good job. Currently, I'm practicing Tchaikovsky and Mozart piano Sonata( always). First, I thought you are Japanese, because you put "Pikachu" on your piano. 謝 謝 for posting beautiful pieces.
I like your performance very much, but why does the piano sounds out of tune ? Is it a microphone recording or a VST plugin with a special preset ? please!
This is the built in sound of the Kawai CS6, with reverb added, and recorded directly onto USB. Probably sounds a little off because this is a blend of two built in sounds of the Kawai digital
Thank you! It's hard to give advice through just writing though. I would normally just do slow practice emphasising the melody and do staccato on the accompanying triplets (to tell your fingers that they are supposed to be soft). After a few repetitions switch back to legato again and they should come out super soft underneath the melody. :)
I love the songs you play on your Kawai, however sometimes the sound of your piano, due to the exaggerated amount of reverb you added is a bit disturbing. Can you find yourself in this?
let’s applaud the creator for still hearting comments 10 years later
This is one of the most beautiful performances I’ve ever seen. The sound of that piano is so rich and full I wish my keyboard could sound like that.
My current favorite piece, and honestly this is the best interpretation I’ve heard like, ever
this is one of my favorite pieces and I just have to say that it was beautifully executed, love the expressiveness in this rendition
First long piece I've learnt. Your rendition was very good.
You played this piece so beautifully, thank you for sharing it 💜
What can I say? You caress the music so sensitively that I CAN hear words right through the 'song' like beautiful, gorgeous, excellent and most importantly this is the best soothing ear balm there can be for tired ears. Bravo!
I've just finished learning this marvelous piece! I am amazed by the genius of Mendelsson!
Je crois la redécouvrir à nouveau ! J'adore, et je vais l'apprendre !
Beautifully done, and I really appreciate how the repeats are played differently. Now if only it didn't sound like mush when I play it!
Beautiful! I believe that this song is underplayed despite being so beautiful!
Thank you!
For a split second there I thought it was a real piano; Kawaii sampling is amazing. Great playing, MX Chan!
Beautiful singing line!! Truly a song without words.
You play music in spiritually. I think you are music genius ❤
Also my favorite from all "Songs without words". Beautiful intricate melodies.
This is amazing, starting to play this song... the stressing of the soprano voice is lovely!

It is my favourite song on the piano as well. Nicely played. Mendelsshon would be proud!
Beautiful piano voice!, and wonderful playing!
Heartfelt emotion comes through beautifully without sentimentality; Love your rendition!
THankyou
I have never seen any other performance with as much color as the one you give at 3:50. Great performance :)
Beautiful
Finally, I am learning this beautiful piece. It is quite difficult in terms of 2/3 tempo and voicing, nonetheless worth working on it.
Really loved your rendition of this song. So beautiful with such emotion.
Would love for you to upload more Mendelssohn Songs Without Words. This is sublime!
You make it seems so easy
I just started level nine and you make it seem so easy. Thank you alot for the help. I hope I can play jist as good as you, even though the goal is far fetched because you play so perfectly. Once again, thank you!
You're welcome. :)
Level 9????????
@@skstruct it's level nine for me. I do RCM
I love it! Very emotional piano interpretation. I wish I was able to play it... Very nice indeed!
Bravissimo
PERFECT you are brilliant :)
You play really well. It sounds like some of my faves. Well, this is one, so...
Just can say, BRAVO
This is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful playing of this lovely piece.
Wonderful and inspiring. Thank you so much!
Very colourful playing. Beautiful :)
Exceptional playing once again. The Schubert was awesome as well last time.
Wow😭❤️.......what a beautiful rendition!🙏 Respect!
Played verry beautiful!
Beautiful! I love the sound of your piano. I guess I had overlooked this piece before when playing some of the songs and and am happy to have (re) discovered it!
Wonderful!
Beautiful! Love it 💖
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Loved it.
Absolutely fantastic!
Totally gorgeous.
Wonderful
素晴らしい表現力ですね。 私はMozart, Chopin をこよなく愛し、彼らの曲ばかりひいていました。 はじめて、メンデルスゾーンを弾いてみたいと私に思わせたのが、この曲です。”一目ぼれ” ならぬ、”一耳ぼれ”でした。
しかし、手が小さい事から先生に「あなたの手ではちょっと厳しい。」と言われてしまいました。 それで、今はまたMozart の Sonata を練習していますが、あきらめられないので、近い将来、この曲を弾きます。
途中まで練習した感じでは出来そうな気がしたんですけれどね～

I'd like the non likers to come out and say why...!?? I think this is beautiful. 😘
Belle interprétation !
Merci beaucoup!
bravissimo!
Grazie mille!
I'm falling in love

Excellent voicing, especially in measures 32 - 35. Those measures have been a stumbling block for me in learning this piece. Any advice?

@@MXChan Thank you kindly! I'll give that a try.
Dhamma Pada either needs to refine his hearing or he talks without Knowing too much about freedom of interpretation in the pianist part!
Can be better . More tension . Some notes should play as upbeat , but u drop it . Peace.
I love the songs you play on your Kawai, however sometimes the sound of your piano, due to the exaggerated amount of reverb you added is a bit disturbing. Can you find yourself in this?
When you learn how to play piano tell me to come to hear you
Beautiful
Wonderful!
