Help! (Für Elise)
on: October 18, 2006, 09:40:12 PM
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???

I pulled out my score, I can understand your confusion, however, if you look closely, you should see (unless my score is incorrect) that the C is sharped, and the B is flatted.

It's difficult to see from the attached picture, but maybe it will help.

Greetings.

This addresses the down side of small text- confusion.
