You Need To Play This Piece: Mendelssohn Lieder Ohne Worte Op. 19 no. 1 - Analysis/Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Felix Mendelssohn wrote songs for piano: Lieder Ohne Worte = Songs Without Words. The very first one of all the volumes (Op. 19 no. 1) is a perfect piece for practicing sound balance in the right hand, and the music is just fabulous!
You need this kind of sound balance/hand weight for playing these works:
- Beethoven Moonlight Sonata mvt I
- Schubert Impromptu no. 3 in Gb major
- Chopin Funeral March
- Debussy Claire de lune (fast section)
- Ravel Pavane for a dead princess
...and countless more pieces, so I can really recommend this piece as a study to lay some proper technique ground work within both real and great musical context!

I dont think there is any piece thats more beautiful than this
You are right! As a choral guy with piano and organ, you can imagine how much this piece is such a fabulous piece to play. Thank you again for another wonderful video in your company.
Your videos on these beautiful pieces are some of my favourites on TH-cam. Great work!
I have loved this piece dearly for the past few years, such a pleasant surprise to see you analyze it. I tried learning it last year but it fell to the wayside - now I've been convinced to pick it back up. The right hand figure is reminiscent of the first piece in Schumann's Kinderszenen (another, albeit simpler, piece to practice balancing multiple components, one of which is passed between hands)
That's true, Kinderszenen no 1 is in a way an even better starting point as a smaller piece. Also the Grieg Arietta (Op. 12 no 1) uses the same pattern as this.
Good luck with it! :)
Thank you, Henrik, for your insight. I am learning this piece for a festival in just over a month's time. I hope I play it as beautifully as you.
Extremely helpful and insightful. I always appreciate the breakdown of everything. It takes away the intimidation of approaching such a piece. As an amateur intermediate... I think I can begin to work on this one. Many thanks!
wonderful playing, beautiful piece... thank you very much
This is a wonderful work indeed! I am learning it now.
Very, very nice! Looking forward to exploring this piece. Quite inspiring presentation!
Thank you for an inspirational lesson! Your approach - explaining and then demonstrating all the subtlety and beauty of the piece - is very encouraging - thank you!
Thank you so much for making these videos! As an amateur, I cherish your insights into pieces which I enjoy. If I could make a recommendation, I think you should make more videos on late Brahms pieces - especially op. 119. The ones you have already made are some of my favorites of yours.
I'm happy to hear that! :) I want to do Op 119 no 1 some time in the future, because it's so unique, but I will cover some other repertoire now before returning to Brahms again.
Thank you. I love this piece and have struggled to play it . I gave up some time ago. Now I shall try again with your kind and clear guidance!
Excellent training for Schumann, who was so fond of these textures with the mid-range arpeggios spread between the two hands.
Wonderful explanation! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making all this fantastic content, it supported me so much on my journey.
It's my pleasure!
Thank u. Very useful instruction. I play this and your highlights will certainly help me to improve the quality
Thanks for this nice analysis, for one of the most beautiful romantic melodies! 👏👏👏❤❤❤
Mendelssohn is a bit an underestimated composer for piano. But the songs without words are beautiful diamonds who really learn you to bring out the melody. This piece i managed to learn but opus 19 no 5 is also very beautiful but sooo difficult for me😢.. i listened a lot to Rena Kyriakou who played all off them.
Thanks for your very helpful tutorials. You really make difference for a lot of TH-cam piano students. And also you inspire me to study other pieces which I didn't know....
Bravo. Beautiful playing. I wish you were my teacher.
So glad I have subbed your channel. I love your play and you have the right sense and taste. Thank you. I shall now play some singing Mendelssohn.
Go for it!
Mendelssohn's Gondola Song op. 19 no. 6 is the best he wrote, hope you do a video on it one day
Sure, that's a great piece too, on my radar...
I love that one so much
op.38 no.6 is great for that purpose too! (as well as being absolutely beautiful)
Ah the "duet"! Of course, but it's even more complex with the layering.
Wonderful.
Thanks for this detailed tutorial lesson, and also for leaving in your delightful reaction to that accidental wrong note. I am returning to piano after a long time, and even Step 1 (Notes) is a challenge. I was considering trying this piece just last week... but maybe I will start with the Kinderszenen recommended in the other comments if that one is easier. 😅
So not a secret. hahahh! love it!
Looks like a good preparation for learning Schubert's Impromptu in Gb.
Exactly, very similar
Mendelssohn is the Mozart of the romantic era. Change my mind
& Fanny the Nannerl
But Mendelssohn is most definitely classical era 😮
Mozart is too joyful sometimes, his sonatas for example... Mendelssohn, has a more pure emotion hard to contain in an single adjective.
@@handavid6421Mozart is moody and neurotic. Unpredictable changes of texture and mood.
Organ sonata No. 4, movement 3, has a lot in common with this song without words. Cantabile melody, perpetual motion accompaniment with subtle variations.
Thank you
Hello Mr Edward Snowden disguised as a concert pianist !
Wonderful videos and channel
I drop by every week for advice and to say thank you for sharing your experience, advice and tuition
How is Moscow? Spaciba
I agree! (Chopin Nocturnes are also GREAT for this, too! Though perhaps as much for the LH;) BTW, did you ever do a video about the left hand of the Chopin Nocturnes? I'm in the habit, about once a week, of playing through all the nocturnes' left hand.
Yeah, the Chopin Nocturnes is often more busy in LH and leaves RH more for only melody (and those fast light runs), but there are spots with this too of course, like C minor Op 48 recap section, B major Op 62...
I haven't done a specific video about that, but covered 13 individual nocturne videos so far!(th-cam.com/play/PLwCGt-h2CNnMtrWNbpm7-IvXXxtzc8sDH.html)
@@SonataSecrets i meant the chopin nocturnes are good for sound balance of the left hand, as much as mendelssohn's LOW19.1 is for the right hand. though, my comment was a bit ambiguous;)
RIght, I see, agreed!
Por favor! Traga mais videos do album canção sem palavras!
This is one of my favorite pieces to play, and your video will push me to do it better.
The English word for the ornament near the beginning is "turn," not "trill." "Grupetto" is fine too. :)
I know! got too caught up in the moment and didn't realize it until afterwards...
Could you make a video about Chopin- Waltz in A minor posth ?
ty :)
I would love if you do the Romance from chopin piano concerto in e minor by Balakirev! It is one of the exam pieces I'm preparing for my LTCL diploma.
Yesss
Thank you so much for this! I've always wanted to learn this piece! What grade or level is it? Where can I get the score for piano solo? Thanks! 💐
6?
@@pamrogers5979 For advanced students?
I always have problem reading sharps scale. Any advices? I can read flat scale easily even it have 5 or 6 flats, but just 3+ sharp I get confused alr.
Can You Analyse Liszt Dante Sonata ❤
May i request Lieder ohne worte op 30 no 1 😁
That's a great one
mm, it's quite similar to this one in a way, but more tender instead of bursting.
It feels too "busy" for an Andante at this speed.
Indeed, too fast
He died November, 4th of 1847. Not 1949, genius!
They are not 16th notes which is a term used only in the US; in the rest of the English-speaking world, they are *semi-quavers* which is how they should be described in correct, universal English.
