Wow! Heavy hands. Great tone, color, in and out time. Captures the beautiful and wild heart so well. Loved it. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

What beguiling beauty in every note❤ I so wish I were a pianist 🙏😊 I am gladly investing in my grand daughter’s piano lessons🎹🎼

濁り少なかり 統一感をもって高潔なり

it calmes me down so good so praceful so nice... no?

The fantasy MUST be based on the wander fantasy. The first notes are literally the exact same chord. I find it absolutely insane Billy Joel did this.

❤Thank you

Bellos, llenos de imaginación y sabiduría.

Splended.

Quiero la partitura! Dónde la consigo?

Daniel Gortler's recording of the complete Songs Without Words is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for posting! 🙂

It seems that Claude Debussy participated in building the path leading to Jazz in 1905 : at times i hear Bill Evans and other works from Jazz composers of the 20th century. I also heard the premices of Rhapsody in Blue around 3:33 ... amazing ♥

he forgot the ma non troppo part

He doesn't understand this music.

Truly great!!

God damn that last half page is kicking my ass. Managed to get through the whole piece only for that monstrously difficult coda at 23:25 to show up at the very end 😂😭

It’s so beautiful how Mendelssohn can make a masterpiece at the individual piece level and at the entire opus level. Each piece is unique but also intimately a part of the larger whole.

So much appreciate you for post this on!!

Tyler!!! У тебя есть эти ноты?Мне очень нужны

All of the sudden I'm having a Sunday night... on a Tuesday night. 🤔

Not enough credit for the pianist who treats these "small" pieces with the utmost care, musicality, and virtuosity!

guilleret🎉.

gentillet 😮

Tout le monde devrait jouer çà 😂

a distinct tone for sure!

You have to learn to eliminate the horizon in music. That's what Monet taught Debussy: eliminate the horizon.

hello? My name is Jeongmin Lee and I live in Korea. I like music. Among them, my favorite music is Mendelssohn's Something. It literally means that it is a song without lyrics. Although there are no lyrics, I really like that Mendelssohn's unique beautiful sensibility is conveyed. In my case, I also like pure, warm music. This is also true. thank you

When I started listening to this, I was like “hmmm it sounds like my earbuds are out of sync” and it turns out they were. Moral of the story: I’m always right.

I adore in Invention in C minor opus 6; it's so Bach-like and bouncy that I can't sit still!

brilliant, thank you for this. i think kissin plays these preludes the best

Beautiful rendering!

This piano really takes a beating. Pour little piano.

So many incompetent pieces.

Where did you find the recordings for Op. 71, 76, 78a, and 85!? I haven’t been able to find any

PERFORMANCE NOTES 1. Short Story This prelude contains a story. But the drama emerges through its own internal logic rather than from a specific series of predetermined events. 2. Filigree One problem with pianos is that their keyboards are straight while our bodies are not. Interesting compensatory techniques have evolved so that our organically radial appendages may move more rapidly around these unyielding contraptions. 3. Thumper My first piano teacher often reprimanded me for "thumping" the keyboard. She was so stern that it took years to discover that playing loudly might also arise from good musicianship. Here is an open invitation to "thump", although finesse is still advised. 4. Ever After Ever Only impermanence lasts for ever - everything else permanently changes. Our personal "ever after" is only as much of the ever remaining to us from now on. Living happily in that ever after is no simple matter. Even if you accept that impermanence is everlasting. 5. Two Fifths Two fifths are not always forty percent. In this case two series of fifths mutate playfully into sixths and fourths and the occasional third. (Footnote: This prelude was originally known as "The Goblin's Cakewalk", but the teddy bears finished the cake at a picnic. It was then a "Goblin's Gavotte" until the fairies won a demarcation dispute against the Federation of Garden Bottoms. The final attempt to invoke fairy-tale creatures failed after accusations of racial profiling were upheld in favour of the golliwogs). 6. Milk for Swami Li Swami Li, of course, does not exist. If, however, he were ever to materialise in our reality, this music is the sustenance I would offer him. 7. Divertissement Perhaps the trajectory of our lives is so oppressive that we need constant diversion to cope. Or else our lives have no real trajectory but consist entirely of unrelated diversions, some of which appear weighty. But then no primary path can exist from which to divert, and so there can be no such thing as a diversion. What appears diversionary turns out to be the primary trajectory of our lives. What to do then, if it gets boring? 8. Sweetsour Chinese cuisine views taste as the combined effect of five fundamental qualities: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and hot. The English view of "sweet" and "sour" as simple polar opposites doesn't quite do justice to properties more at home on a continuous spectrum. This prelude is neither simply sweet with bitter undertones nor sad with saccharine overtones, but something more integrated. 9. Tarantella A tarantella is a dance, generally in triple time, connected in some way to spiders. The terpsichorean arachnids in this case are Ariadne and her brother Trevor, who are perversely quintupeds instead of the usual eight-legged variety. Like most siblings they argue often, but have been brought up believing that it is unlucky to dance the tarantella alone. 10. Romance Somewhere through the last century the word "romance" lost the remainder of its mystery, excitement, intrigue and passion. It lost, in short, its romance, leaving behind a sullen husk of sentimentality and dog-eared novellas. Which is a pity since love must still elicit some range of feeling beyond the enticing rush of hormones - some generically noble background to simple animal necessity. Or perhaps I'm just a romantic. 11. Fughetta Identifying the sequence of pitch intervals within a melody as the source of its unifying power was a critical development in music of the Baroque. This is nowhere more apparent than in the magnificent fugues of the period. To avoid too close a comparison with those marvels of musical architecture, I offer here just a "small" sample. 12. Chorale Not every chorale needs to be religious, nor necessarily to be sung. References to this essentially liturgical form still seem to end up invoking a sense of pensiveness.

Love the choral so much
