Fur Elise

[keyofc]

Around mms 25-27 - my copy of Fur Elise sounds much faster than the beginning.
I guess I never played it correctly after all this time!  Why does it get faster? They are still 16th notes...  And I see no tempo marking change? 

I'm not referring to the part where the 32nd notes are.

people in general do take this part faster, no especial reason for it, as you say, there are no indications in the score (or in my urtext). It's entirely up to yourself as to how fast you take it. I in general play it faster than usual, so I wouldn't take the C section much faster.

Jabbz,
I have a couple of different copies of it - one has triplets around those measures - so I can see what it would speed up a little - but not to the degree it does when I play it (on the computer)

My other copy doesn't have any triplets.

How do most of you play it?  And why?  This is the piece everyone groans about being too familiar  - 

[jabbz]

triplets? Could you post a picture of the bars in question?

Funny - I just learned this piece for the first time & played it for the kids at my son's preschool yesterday [along with a Bach P&F from the WTC & a Liszt piece LOL - hey - it's what I had].

Anyway - I don't play that faster ... I have only 1 recording - Murray Perahia - and he doesn't speed up there either that I can hear - so ... I personally wouldn't. But that's just me...

I also don't have any triplets in my score...only measures where the 16th notes are grouped into 3's

How do start teaching trills?
