[Rousseau]

Is there anyone on planet earth that hasn't heard this melody? Here is the beautiful Für Elise for you all!

[LukeMullins]

Many people told Beethoven he would never be a musician just because he was deaf, but did he listen?

[sanaashaikh]

Beethoven wrote Fur Elise for a student of his whom he was in love with. She was a mediocre player, so he wanted to write something that even she could play and impress others. Midway through writing it he found out she was engaged to someone else so he made the rest of it very hard and complicated so she couldn't play it.

We stan a petty legend.

[SheepGetSheared]

You can hear the shift. If you listen closely enough, you can almost hear at 1:10, “But she’s engaged.” the entire mood of the song changes after that moment. His anger and sorrow saturate the song slowly after that. His rage is demonstrated in the difficulty and the sorrow shown in the constant repeat of the chorus.

[Janet-rtvq]

When I played in my early teens, this was my go to song and my family had to hear it over and over...and over!! I'm now 65 and I've forgotten it completely

[anikaghoshbasu]

Story behind the composition:
Beethoven wrote Fur Elise for one of his students that he fell in love with. Since she wasn't the best at piano, he made the beginning part really easy for her. However, after learning about her engagement, he was heartbroken and wrote the rest of the song so hard that she'would never be able to play it.

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."

[enrico]

I love the transition to the main motif at 2:03, it's amazing how jarring it is yet how seamless it is

[IUserMoreThanI]

it's difficult dealing with death, my adoptive mother used to play this for me when I was younger. it helped me calm down. she knew I was depressed

[igotdeportedbysix]

*_Fun fact: Beethoven made the starting easy because he fell in love with one of his beginner students so he started the song off easily. Unfortunately, when Beethoven proposed her she declined it so he made the song harder so she could never play it._*


_Who knew Beethoven was a savage..._

[aurorareed]

I’d like everyone to know that this was originally made to be super easy, for a woman Beethoven had a crush on and was teaching. He made the song for her. But when he found out she wasn’t interested in him, and in fact was dating someone, he got mad and added the hard parts because he knew she still struggled and was mad at her.

[moodi]

I've been listening to this song for the past 156 years

[ah]

Beethoven is one of many artists who has left a deep impression on people around the world and in my heart, many of Beethoven's symphonies have become famous music thanks

[FarazKhan]

Most guys after their girlfriend breaks up with them: *goes to a bar and gets drunk*

Beethoven: *writes one of the greatest musical pieces of all time*

[KingGamingRoblox]

This and Mozart's Turkish March are some of my favorite classical piano pieces.

I honestly don't know why I really like this song, it's just so catchy, it doesn't get annoying very quickly like other songs.

With the sustain pedal on and I play this at my school, it sounds like freaking music to my ears.

Fun fact; (I googled it so it might not be 100% true)

Beethoven had a student who he taught Piano, and her name was Elise. She was not very good at piano, in fact she was horrible. Beethoven eventually fell in love with this Elise person. He wrote this piece Für Elise which translates to For Elise in English. He then found out she was engaged and wrote the rest of the song impossible so she could never play it.

[haroldwhitney]

I never learnt the piano. Everything about it is beautiful. The music, technique, creativity, everything is beautiful. I'd have been a better person if I learned it in my youth. Despite my lack of understanding, I truly appreciate Beethoven's gift.

I played this while my brother and sister were fighting. Real music and it matched the tone of the fight. Magnificent!
