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.
