We have no idea where the original manuscript for Für Elise (For Elise) by Beethoven is, or who ‘Elise’ was. Maybe she was a singer, student, lover, who know? Yet, this remains to be the most popular piano work of all time, that even the guy fixing your roof may be able to play on the piano.

The work is in A minor and set in triple time. It begins with a wistful theme marked ‘Poco moto’ (with movement), with left hand having fun with arpeggios alternating between the tonic and dominant. It then moves into a brief section based around C major and G major, prior to returning to the original theme.



how to practice

Fur Elise piano sheet music is not particularly difficult to master on the piano. Recite out the rhythm aloud before you start your practice on the piece to acquire a natural sense for the timing. The top instrumentalists have got astonishing left hands and wrists, so rehearse it by itself and learn it towards the best of your skill.

My advice is basically that you control the left hand first and then add the elaborate melody on top (which alternates so much between E and D sharp) which is performed by the right hand. It’s highly recommended that the left-hand represents the actual bass notes and the right-hand works on the phrasing with an a very occasional piano chord on just about every bar or so. The majority of pieces of this nature are derived from a tempo pattern which repeat continuously with the bass line or accompaniment.

As soon as you will be able to talk over the rhythm of any song even in the middle of the night together with an amazing feeling of time and also tempo, then you are absolutely prepared to get started getting to know the ideas of how the melody & bass registers work
