xx I'm not comfortable playing the "fur elise"
May 07, 2008, 03:55:56 PM by fermata_88

I am going to play "fur elise"  tomorrow in my Piano Pedagogy class. I'm also going to play it for the juries next week. Frankly, I don't like it because it's overplayed but I don't have a choice because my teacher wanted me this piece. I do like this piece but a lot of people know about it and I'm not just comfortable.

xx re: fur elise
February 17, 2008, 04:22:03 AM by puddy

 There was a question about how to play the chord e,g,bflat and sharp and c in the second section with the repeated A in the left hand. If I'm not mistaken, the sharp refers to the c. This would make the chord a diminished seventh csharp,e,g,bflat in first inversion which resolves to the next chord which is the tonic chord of d minor in second inversion, taking the left hand A as the lowest note. Hope this technical explanation helps! Smiley

xx Beethoven. "Fur Elise" ( +"Alphabet and 3 Rules of Dynamics" in comments )
November 15, 2006, 10:42:08 AM by vladimirdounin

I am sorry that I had no opportunity to participate in the work of this wonderful Forum for more than one year. I am very moved and appreciated that some of the members of this Forum still remember me and send sometimes e-mails to me.

May this my recording (encore from ordinary concert - I recently played it at "Glenn Gould Concert Studio" of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation - CBC, Toronto, Ontario, October 20. 2006) be my HELLO to everybody who remembers my postings about Fine Indication Of Relative Note Intensity (FIORNI) and around this and other problems in performing and teaching.

With my best wishes,

Vladimir Dounin

exclamation Fur Elise = Fur Therese
October 20, 2006, 07:31:46 PM by presto agitato

Did you know that the orginal title of this ultra-famous piano work is "Fur Therese". The editor made a big mistake LOL.

Beethoven also dedicated one of his piano sonatas to Countess Therese von Brunsvik
Sonata No. 24 in F sharp major Op 78

xx Help! (Für Elise)
October 18, 2006, 09:40:12 PM by garetanne

OK... so I must be stupid as everyone else seems to be able to learn Fur Elise 1-2-3, while I struggle with it.

I just started learning the third section where it starts the 8th note repeats of A.
In the 2nd measure of this there is a cord that shows  c, b, g, e with a flat AND a sharp sign on the b.  How is that played??? 

~scratching my head.

xx How do I play the turn in Fur Elise
September 17, 2006, 09:36:57 PM by barnowl

As you will see in the attachment, there's what I presume to be a Turn sign (that flattened and backwards S, rotated 90º) at the top of the page, with no note beneath it.

Please tell me how to play it and when (i.e., on which note in the Bass Clef).

I could wait until my teacher comes tomorrow to find out, but this would give me a headstart. So I hope you don't mind my asking.

Shouldn't there be an Alt Character for this Turn symbol? Like the degree sign up there (º).

If you don't know what Alt Characters are and...

You want to type 90º, first type the 90, then without moving the cursor, hit numlock on your keypad. Then hold down the Alt key, and on the key pad type 167. You can do this here in a post or in a Word Processor, or whatever. There are several Alt Character pages available on the web. If you want to explore the possibilities try

http://www.tedmontgomery.com/tutorial/ALTchrc.html

or simply Google on Special Alt Characters. They'll show you a grid of them. Maddeningly there doesn't seem to be a rigid system for the way the characters are arranged on the grid, so you often must look long and hard to find what you want.

There are a lot of these Alt Characters that aren't on your standard keyboard: ½, ¼, and if you want to show off your Español, you can make those curlycued n's all day long. ¿, too, as well as upside down Excamation points and even ®. Good stuff.

½ (Alt 171)
¼ (Alt 172)
ñ  (Alt 164)
¿  (Alt 168)
® (Alt 0174)

I didn't include the ¡ because I don't really know if it's an upside down Exclamation Point. If it is, it's pretty week. Go search. Maybe you'll find a better one. Okay okay, it's Alt 173,
but I don''t like it, and it might well be wrong.

xx Please Finger Position for FUR ELISE
May 29, 2005, 12:24:41 AM by sergio_claver

Dear friends,

i was reading the Chang manual and it starts using the Beethoven's theme Fur Elise, it also tells the good way of working with positions for the fingers.

Any teacher around here could send me the music sheet with the position for the fingers?

Thanks,

I have a lot of digital pdfs but no one shows the fingering, specially for the two more difficult parts.

 Grin
