Absolutely beautiful, I'm reduced to tears at the happiness you have brought me through your great playing. And what a beautiful piano too and thanks to the wonderful tuner.

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

That means so much- thank you for your beautiful comments.

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Lovely. Surprisingly detailed (and difficult) the Songs Without Words. Full of love this one.

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Thank you! This one is so heartfelt and tender.

[@death2pc]

Mendelssohn is SO under-appreciated. This serves as a perfect example. EXCEPTIONALLY well done!!!! Thank You!!!

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Wow, thank you!

That's great- thanks for listening!

Timeless perfection! ❤

[@solarpower3504]

Thank you for such a wonderful performance. I enjoyed it so much!

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Many thanks!

[@GURUGOLDBERG]

A difficult work in which to get the tempo just right. Many take the 'con moto' too literally and it becomes Allegretto, which can then detract from expressive qualities. I think Leon you get it just right. Thank you.

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Thanks so much!

[@alrosen4274]

I love this piece too, though I find it much more difficult than the various rankings I've seen. I'm in a constant battle to slow it down, because I think you';re right, that if rushed a lot is lost.

[@marcoesquandolez]

I can't help but think of Chopin Op 10 no 3 when I hear this piece

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Both pieces composed in the same year, I think- 1832.

[@quaver1239]

Quite simply beautiful. Thank you. You deserve more than “thank you”, but knowing what to say is difficult! 🙏

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Thank you! 😊

[@kirstybrodrick]
