Mendelssohn - Songs without Words op 30 no 1

I met with this piece upon my professor's advice that I should listen to different composers so I chose Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn pioneered composing Songs Without Words (Lieder ohne Worte) genre that would later be embraced by many other contemporary composers such as Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, and later on Rachmaninoff... My favorite interpreter of the piece is Daniel Barenboim as he plays this piece beautifully and elegantly. I always imagined a blue sky while listening to and playing this piece.

Big thanks to my dear professor Assoc. Prof. Jerfi Aji for tutoring me on this piece... Thanks to Selçuk Ener, Robert McDonald, and Zehra Güzel for listening to my playings many times and for their insights in interpreting some parts. Many thanks to Emre Tenker for recording and sound engineering. Also, thanks to Prof. Dr. Can Karadoğan for letting me use Miam's studio and this beautiful Steinway piano.
