This 43-minute video lesson explores an in-depth look at the Lieder ohne Worte (“Songs Without Words”) Op.30 No.6, Venetianisches Gondellied (“Venetian Boat Song” or “Venetian Gondola Song”) by Felix Mendelssohn. This piece is the last in the Op.30 set, and is among the most famous of all of Mendelssohn’s “Songs Without Words” (comprising eight volumes, with six pieces in each opus). Areas of focus include tempo, touch, how to properly voice the melody and keep the accompaniment soft, how to effectively use dynamics and create variety with similar passages, how to develop a good sense of rubato, proper use of pedaling, how to develop faster and more relaxed trills, performance tips, and many other concepts to help you become as efficient as possible in your practice sessions.

My favorite Mendelssohn piece together with his Rondo Capriccioso.

[@DiscoverPianoTV]

The part about the phrasing around the repeated notes was fantastic! 😃 Thanks!

[@vanessaellermann9206]

I’ve been playing this for years. Thank you.

I recently bought the Alfred edition (w/ the lay flat binding). Very happy with it.

Great to see your pedalling. It is different to my edition's suggestions, and in my opinion both more comfortable and a bit better sounding (at least for my instrument). As Mendelssohn's pedal markings were vague (and presumably suited to an ancient piano), your foot cam is very helpful!!

Your playing is always so precise. I think that's what I struggling with in my playing. my teacher says that I get the big picture very easily, but I tend to have to spend more time on the details. Anyway, thanks for another great video Mr. Wright!

I have to spend a lot of time on details too 😊
