[@sukholmes1066]

Thanks! Thank you for your hard work for this episode again!!

[@SonataSecrets]

Thank you Suk!

[@BaroqueBach.]

Oh, the wonders of Mendelssohn... I hope to see more analysis of his works from my favourite channel! Thanks Henrik!

[@SonataSecrets]

This was the pair I had planned for now, but you never know for the future.

@@SonataSecrets Hey, I love all of your content! It fills me with joy. Any videos of yours have my support. Thanks!

[@jasperherrick]

Would love to see your analysis of op 67 no 2 lost illusions

[@jasperherrick]

@@SonataSecrets op 67 no 2! Would love to see it

[@caiomarciorodrigues1551]

，What a precious jewel of lesson about the joyful masterpiece . . . !

[@Zellie1994]

Your logo and transition to “So not A” Secret is very well done. I’m an adult learner (2 years) and your analysis really help me appreciate what goes into these works. Thank you.

[@margarethansen7480]

Perfect! Sublime theme, explendid analysis, beautiful piano’s sound❤👏👏👏

[@spacedoctor5620]

With regards to pedaling: a third option would be pedaling the first 2 beats and taking off for the last, since there is a rest. Totally different texture with that too.

[@SonataSecrets]

That's true!

Fico feliz em ver você se aventurando nas obras de Mendelssohn. O repertório solo dele para Piano é muito vasto e lindo. Se possível, tenho até uma sugestão para próxima peça dele.

Great video, Bravo!

[@1955robyn]

How spectacular! Thank you. Maybe I can improve my playing of this before spring arrives again in the southern hemisphere 😅🇦🇺🦘

Hey, I love your channel! I’ve been really curious to see an analysis on “un sospiro” by Liszt. Seems very complex and really fun to try to understand it, I would love it if you could you do that next!

[@ericrakestraw664]

When learning this piece, I would suggest first playing all the arpeggios as block chords to get a feel in your hands for all the harmonic changes.

[@SonataSecrets]

Great advice!

[@Mitchellyap12]

Nice analysis! Can you do op25 no1 next?

[@SonataSecrets]

Do you mean Chopin or Mendelssohn? The Chopin etude has arpeggios that is the same but also very different! Mendelssohn Piano concerto I haven't played.

[@Mitchellyap12]

@@SonataSecrets Chopin. I’m learning the piece right now and would love to see a analysis video on it from you. The harmonies and melody are just beautiful.

[@toluatoyebi8036]

​@@SonataSecretsCan you please do the analysis of Mendelssohn Op62 no 4?

[@danzeldiaz7447]

This is why I want to learn how to play flute

[@w3sp]

Very nIce analysis and the melody is singing beautifully in your playing! 🙂 PS: Do you skip the bottom E of the first arpeggio in bar 10 intentionally? 🎹🎹

[@SonataSecrets]

Hah didn't think anyone would notice that! I did it here because it's exactly the same music as bar 2 where there's no bottom E, and that detail does not feel worth the effort of making the legato harder.

[@w3sp]

@@SonataSecrets Hehe, to be honest I only noticed it because while reading along the sheet music I saw there's a bigger "disconnect" here in bar 10 (compared to bar 2) and checked how exactly you played it 🙂I'd say it's a very neat subtle cheat, that's pretty much inaudible. If I were to play the piece some day (I haven't yet) I'd probably also skip that note 🙂 Keep up the great work!

[@Forgeries]

I love how you are doing more mendelssohn recently. Do you know how to play his songs without words op 53. No. 3? It's one of my favorites and I'm trying to learn it right now.

[@halilesen0]

Can you do Op. 27 No. 2 from Chopin? It's my favourite piece.

[@danzeldiaz7447]

This song was meant to represent springtime, especially marriage or dating

[@danzeldiaz7447]

I heard that this song was originally composed for flute

[@bikedawg]

I'm thinking Looney Tunes and Daffy Duck...i don't know why....

[@barbarasmith6005]

Bugs Bunny cartoon music--it's ruined for me.
