Lieder ohne Worte

I just spent a good part of my Sunday morning trying to get this to work and I finally appear to have encountered success with the Yahoo! media player. This is the piece that I played in my piano recital not too long ago. I recorded it in the "auditorium" at my school with iPod Voice Notes. So the sound quality is pretty terrible, but if you ignore the noise that happens when there is a particularly loud note, it's not too bad. After a while I also figured out that I had to lower the piano bench all the way down when recording because otherwise it squeaked whenever I moved. So, without further ado, my best attempts at recording music without the use of music-recording equipment!

Mendelssohn: Songs Without Words Op.53 No. 3

Just for fun, here's an unrelated photo for you to enjoy, one of my first attempts at editing with Picnik. This was taken on the day I was in Geneva and then came back to Fribourg with three of my exchange-student buddies. It was raining, so the tour of Fribourg wasn't terribly successful. But I did get this nice picture of Jean Tinguely's Jo Siffert fountain. Translated, my caption says "Fribourg is my city, even in the rain!"

By the way, I just went back and changed the audio player from the other post where I tried embedding a piano recording. The original one had stopped working for some reason, and it had never worked in Internet Explorer, so feel free to go back and have another listen.
