Best version on UA-cam of this Masterpiece. You have a very beautiful and unique touch. Applauses.

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Wow, thank you!

[@vivyrox7202]

Yup. So delicate. Learning it is killing me after hearing this version 😂

[@aditya90m]

I enjoyed this interpretation. The choice of tempo was absolutely perfect!

Sometimes a rendition sounds just right: this performance is such an example.

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Thank you so much!

[@vivyrox7202]

Everyone has said it. But I have to say it as well: This is THE interpretation for this piece. Simple, delicate, soft, Sad. You can actually feel the movement of the water, and I am trying to bring this into my learning of this piece because it is the perfect interpretation ❤

[@LeonMcCawleyPianist]

Thank you very much!

[@SuperWimsky]

Mr.Leon McCawley, SO SOULFUL AND BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS, MAESTRO!!!!! This time not my favourite Chopin or Beethoven, but such a delightful Mendelssohn's piece from his "Songs Without Words" ("Lieder ohne Worte", in my Polish-"Pieśni bez słów") in an excellent your rendition, this piece Op.19 No.6 I play since my childhood, similarly as Op.19 No.2, Op.38 No.2, Op.102 No.3 and Op.102 No.4, thank you for your romantic soothing performance suitable for this beautiful evening, of course, my "like-thumb up-upvote"14 for this great video (btw. lately your new Polish subscriber No.292, my very good musical friend loves your all classical music), as every day all the best from Poland, have a happy week. Joanna
