Name: Mendelssohn Songs Without Words 19.2 ACD by SheffieldKevin in My curated progress
Duration: 2 min 35 s
Description: This is a frustrating recording. I love the playing for the first 2 minutes, really happy with it, but I seem to go off the rails a bit at 1:57 and it sounds clumsy for a while. It is real pity, I've never been able to get my playing to sound quite so lovely as those first 2 minutes again.

Pieces I've learnt while learning to play again. You can also watch me play a few of the recordings on vimeo. https://vimeo.com/showcase/7313486

Though this is primarily a curated list of pieces added to track my progress of my return to playing the piano.

My curated progress

This is Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words Opus 19 No. 1. The very first piece in his collection of songs without words. This is played below the expected tempo, but honestly there is still a lot of beauty in this piece at this speed. Still a bit rough.
