Repertoire: Re: Love Piece by moi_not_toi
WOOT WOOT!!! Glad you've got a gurl that likes music. Way to go. ;D Try some Mendelssohn. On Wings of Song is really good, but I haven't tried it in a while so it might be harder than I remember it. Pretty much anything by Mendelssohn is good. Try to play something from Songs w/o Words. Good luck, mate! ;)
Repertoire: Mendelssohn's neglected masterpieces? by pianoloverus
I find SOME of Mendelssohns's Songs without Words incredibly beautiful and moving despite their often very simple harmony. I have become especially enamored of #12(Venetian Boat Song), #18(Duetto-until recently, my favorite), #20, #25(May Breezes), #32(my current favorite), #40(Elegy), and #47. I once attended one of Jeffrey Siegel's Keyboard Conversations where he began the concert by playing #30(Spring Song) and then asked the audience whether they thought the piece was terrific or a piece of schlock . The audience was about equally divided their opinion. What do you think about Mendelssohn's Songs without Words? Do you think any of them can stand beside the Chopin Preludes, Debussey Preludes, or Brahms Intermezzi? Does anyone know the "names" of the ones I've listed above with only their number?
