Für Elise - Ludwig van Beethoven [Piano Tutorial] 

It's quite the mystery who Elise really was, but through this piece she will be remembered forever. ♫ Sheet Music (Beethoven - Für Elise): tinyurl.com/yxtv6zj3 * * Affiliate Link

you know the difficult part at 1:03? there's actually a story behind that beethoven made this for a student he loved, named therese, who wasn't really the best piano player - she was mediocre, at best. he made it so easy that she could play it and also impress people which is why it seems so easy up until the 1:03 mark because beethoven found out she was engaged to another man. he pretty much made that part so she could never play it. he proposed to her once & was rejected so rip EDIT: the reason why it's named "elise" & not "therese" probably refers to elisabeth roeckel. she had a flirty relationship w/ beethoven, so he probably renamed it for her because he didn't want to remember therese anymore

This piece is just REALLY overplayed. That's why people usually don't notice what a masterpiece this is.

2:21 Smoothest transition in classical music history

If only Therese wasn’t engaged and married Beethoven. Maybe then I’d actually be able to play the full song

Beethoven: Are you ready to hear this awesome piece I just made?? Crowd: Yeaaaaah! Beethoven: I can't hear youuu!

Homework: 0:05 Test: 1:03

When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard. A couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was buried. Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave. Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate. When the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being played backwards." He listened a while longer, and said, "There's the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the Fifth..." Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."

The songs starts beautifully then shifts in a violent rage of madness, eventually coming back to the fray only to end with everlasting resentment. It's beautiful

after years of practice, inventing the time machine , and taking lessons from beethoven, i can finally(FINALLY!) play till 0:05

The only thing I could play was the video😂😅

*I’ve finally played this!!* _ahhh, that was a lovely dream_

I heard this song when I was 7 years old cuz my grandma would always play it on her record player, fell in love with the piano and I can play by ear this is the one song I’ve wanted to be able to play fully thru

Me: Oh, it's easy song, I can learn to play it easily. *1:03* Me: fuck

Will forever be my first and favorite classical piece.

I search "tininini tininini piano" and finally got this 😌

Für is translated to “For” Elise. Elise, is a human.

Going to play this on my School's Talent Show. LEND ME YOUR POWER GUYS! I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET!!!!

I can only imagine Beethoven writing this as a letter to her dearest love.

My objective for the coronavirus quarantine 💪🏻💪🏻

Beethoven literally composed and played it while he was hard of hearing And here we are complaining of broken fingers and mental instability lol Cuz same

Everyone cracking on about 1:03 whilst I'm here like "okay wtaf" to 1:14

Thumbs up if your an 1800's kid and remember getting turnt to this.

Brings tears to my eyes.

Nice tutorial bro!

Beethoven: Hey Therese! I love you and so I can show it, you can play this easy piece to impress people! Therese: Sorry but, I’ve already got a boyfriend Beethoven:...ok... Beethoven: 1:03 Therese: o-o Beethoven: Biatch!!!

To be honest, I'm not going to lie. 1:50 till the end part took me only 3 days of practicing (not more than 3 hours at total), For the 1:03 it took me a whole month (maybe around 10 hours). This was the first song I've ever mastered and my first song. I finished it a year ago and i only had 4 months experience and all of that went into fur Elise, it's beautiful that i have moved on into piano, and i felt like i was giving up into that part and i never gave up and finished it off. So everyone never give up and achieve your dreams! Have a beautiful day

Timestamp for myself to work on. Right hand: 1:07 1:13 Left hand: 1:03 1:07 1:11

Very good tutorial! I learned the first part of this back in eighth grade (I’m in college now) when I quit piano lessons, but somehow the part up to where it gets funky stuck with me as muscle memory. Finally learning to play the whole thing after all this time, and you’re a great help!

Most beautiful piece of music ever written for piano.

A simple piece, but beautiful. The way the melody flows elegantly from and to each section: it really, to me, is one of the best pieces ever composed, even if it is simple. My favorite pieces are: Fantasie Impromptu, Für Elise, Rondo Alla Turca, and Rondo e Caprio. My favorite composers: Beethoven > Chopin > Mozart > Liszt > Bach

This is 2019 and I've just realized how much I really love the piano especially Beethoven and wish my parents had put me in musical class and sign me up for piano lessons..😩

Thanks so much for this, I am attending a talent show at my school, and this piano piece is just AMAZING THANK YOUUU! -Yes I liked my own comment UwU

Ah the good old days when I thought this song was hard

Funny story: When I was nine I started taking piano lessons. When I got there for the first time my teacher asked me if there were any specific songs I wanted to learn. I told him that I wanted to learn für elise. And so I did. I could play this song before I could play twinkle twinkle little star haha

0:01 “for Elise”

This song is the reason why I fell in love with classical music

I should have watched the full video before trying to learn it...

I will learn the piano in my next life

Me: *trying to play Fur Elise* My Hand: *RIP*

OMG FUR ELISE IS THE BEST SONG BEETHOVEN HAS MADE

How on earth can someone dislike this?

I hate my generation so much, only 1800's kids will understand how great this is.

Graças a esse tutorial,estou comseguindo tocar fur elise,muito bom!!!

Such a beautiful symphony

I'm proud to say that I can finally play the whole piece 😄 I'm so happy

Everyone’s saying they couldn’t get the middle part and I can’t even get the first four keys

That.....was.....awesome! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Totally perfection I mean who doesn't love music it's great!

This is so beautiful

I can play this in piano tiles

oMG I CRIED WHEN I WAS a little kid i had this toy that played this song i love it and its so depressing it makes my heart dwelm i have found it i was looking for it everywhere thank you LORD!

"PERFECT" SIMPLY AMAZING

I’ve been using this video as my piano practice. Thank you!🙏

its actually pretty simple (except some parts)

1:02 I felt like Beethoven never knew what to put so he just slams his piano, using those notes.

I remember when I used to live with my mom as a kid whenever I played on the Wii or N64 my older brother would play this song on the piano those were some good times...

This was great thank you!

And the guy was deaf. What an injustice.

Me: This is so easy *breaks fingers*

i remember that my grand grandma used to play this song when i was little, i loved it so much that i started playing piano. This song reminds me of her and im learning it right now

I love this piece, thank you for making this. I managed to learn it a play it for my channel! Yay!

I'm not sure if I have a problem here, but I think I'm only going to be able to play this piece till 1:02 and I the reason for me is this. In my mind, when I am learning this piece, from the start till 1:02, you left and right hand are never playing over one another, but to spontaneously use both hands to play two different melodies is something I really cant do, does anybody else experience this? It's like combining two separate sounds as one, and I find it impossible.

You know, coming back to this, I think this might just be the best piano piece ever written. This is, like, piano in its purest form.

I love playing that song soooooooo much!!!!

Beautiful!

Done this for my piano exam. Helped so much! It was genuinely quite easy after a while but some hard bits.

that awkward moment when you want a quiet song to enjoy a beautiful night. and the advertisment is obnoxious as fuck

Quiero sorprender a mi profe con esta música clásica 😌🎹

Mastered it in 2 months! Thank you so much Amigo!

I love this piece. Though it took almost a month to learn it all, it's sounds even better when you are the one playing it

is this considered as the best piano song ever created?

Damn u Beethoven, everything is ok until 1:03

Why is this the best sounding Fur Elise I've ever heard on RU-vid?

After 5 months I succeeded this

Composing and creating are much harder than playing. That’s why them old school European musicians were so highly rated. Always imitated but never duplicated. It really takes talent to pull this kinda shit off in real life. I mean, hard work alone just ain’t gonna cut it.

Really beautiful I just loved it and it's so easy to learn I couldn't believe when I myself played it👍🏻

I was in search of this song from many days😭finally I got this😭❤and now i am practicing playing this🔥

I can play until 1:02 xD

2 years ago i won piano match at my school and i got 1st place xD with this song ofc

This is brilliant!!

What I expected: 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 What is really was: 🎵 Seriously, this is way easier than people think...

For me, Für Elise is a masterpiece, nobody on life can die before listen to this song

fun story about fur elise: beethoven wrote the first part to be easy because he was in love with one of his beginner students, the woman he wrote it for. he had proposed to her but she turned him down so he wrote the second part to be more difficult so she could never play it

After moths of practicing, i finally can play this im proud of my self

Una maravilla que me deja en un sueño eterno bravo

This is quite easy and repetetive, I might try it--- 1:03 ah shiet

I learned to 1:02 at home, did not took very long. My piano teacher tried to learn me 3 more seconds of it, did not come any further, and I tried for weeks..

I started playing piano 1 month ago and now i can play this wow the progress is much faster than anticipated.

AMAZING WORK....THE SONG IS SO DYNAMIC

This song is so relaxing 😌😌 does it relax anyone else or only me?

I'm finna learn this and shove it down people's throat on how good I am.

This piece flows so nicely. And tbh the middle section right hand isn’t that bad you just have to get the rotation down and really anchor that pinky on the g. Slow and steady practice gets it

respekt man❤❤i love it

How can someone dislike that?!

About three years ago my music teacher said that if someone can play Für Elise full, she/he gets a prize. I trained for maybe about a month this song and played it perfectly. When I played it to my teacher he said that I suck and I should not never anymore play piano. I was 12 years old when this happened

After years of not committing to this piece, I come back to play along with this video. I’m proud of myself 😌

I stopped learning piano because the middle part of this piece XD

wow i have been playing it wrong all this time... i was using my left WAY too much. this actually helped me very much, thanks.

thank you it's so easyyy

Sweet melody!!
