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.
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
pilla89: agreed... my personal favorites are op.19-
no.1, no.3, no.5, no.6
and op.30- no.1, no,2
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
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 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: 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: 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! :)
