About this song
From the first book of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words. The 6/8 rocks like a gondola on the water.
Practice tips
The opening is accompaniment only. Count and wait, then come in when the melody starts.
The highest note is very high D. From high D up, press the octave key with your left thumb too.
For bars with sixteenth notes, tap the bar number twice to loop just that part, and start slow.
We took only the top line (the melody). The opening bars with accompaniment only are shown as rests. FingerNola fingering pictures and accompaniment are added to every note.
