Für Elise Piano Notes: Tutorial and Free Sheet Music
To know how to dissociate your hands more quickly at the piano, there are a number of tricks.
For example, you can start by playing the notes of the song you are practicing with your right hand, then the notes with your left hand.
By working independently, you will get used to the rhythm of the song and learn faster.
This is what we have chosen to do in this tutorial dedicated to learning the notes of Für Elise on the piano.
Then you have to play both hands at the same time.
Start by choosing small sequences of the song. For example, if the song you are working on is 2 minutes long, choose the first 5 or 10 seconds of the introduction. Play this part over and over with both hands at the same time. Go slowly at first, then gradually increase the pace.
Once you feel comfortable with this first sequence, choose the next seconds and repeat the same exercise. When you have mastered this second passage, play both in a row.
This technique, based on learning in a chunked and looped fashion, allows your brain to gradually assimilate the information and process it better. You will learn faster with this method.
Note: At La Touche Musicale, we name this technique the learning loop. Noticing its effectiveness on piano learning, we decided to integrate a feature into our online piano learning app that allows you to loop any part of the song and learn it in a few hours.

Elise notes fur piano
Für Elise
Composition for piano by Ludwig van Beethoven
Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO59, Bia) for solo piano, commonly known as Für Elise (German: [fyːɐ̯ ʔeˈliːzə], transl.For Elise), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions.[1][2][3] It was not published during his lifetime, only being discovered (by Ludwig Nohl) 40 years after his death, and may be termed either a Bagatelle or an Albumblatt. The identity of "Elise" is unknown; researchers have suggested Therese Malfatti, Elisabeth Röckel, or Elise Barensfeld.
History[edit]
The score was not published until , forty years after the composer's death in The discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, affirmed that the original autograph manuscript, now lost, had the title: "Für Elise am 27 April [] zur Erinnerung von L. v. Bthvn" ("For Elise on April 27 in memory by L. v. Bthvn").[4] The music was published as part of Nohl's Neue Briefe Beethovens (New letters by Beethoven) on pages 28 to 33, printed in Stuttgart by Johann Friedrich Cotta.[5]
The version of "Für Elise" heard today is an earlier version that was transcribed by Ludwig Nohl. There is a later version, with drastic changes to the accompaniment which was transcribed from a later manuscript by the Beethoven scholar Barry Cooper. The most notable difference is in the first theme, the left-hand arpeggios are delayed by a 16th note. There are a few extra bars in the transitional section into the B section; and finally, the rising A minor arpeggio figure is moved later into the piece. The tempo marking Poco moto is believed to have been on the manuscript that Ludwig Nohl transcribed (now lost). The later version includes the marking Molto grazioso. It is believed that Beethoven intended to add the piece to a cycle of bagatelles.[6]
Whatever the validity of Nohl's edition, an editorial peculiarity contained in it involves the second right-hand note in bar 7, that is, the first note of the three-note upbeat figure that characterizes the main melody. Is it E4 or D4? Nohl's score gives E4 in bar 7, but D4 thereafter in all parallel passages. Many editions change all of the figures to beginning with E4 until the final bars, where D4 is used and resolved by adding a C to the final A octave. A point in favor of the D4 is that the ascending seventh of the motive in this form is repeated in sequence in bars 9 to 11 that begin the second section of the principal theme.[7]
The pianist and musicologist Luca Chiantore[es] argued in his thesis and his book Beethoven al piano (new Italian edition: Beethoven al pianoforte, ) that Beethoven might not have been the person who gave the piece the form that we know today. Chiantore suggested that the original signed manuscript, upon which Ludwig Nohl claimed to base his transcription, may never have existed.[8] On the other hand, Barry Cooper wrote, in a essay in The Musical Times, that one of two surviving sketches closely resembles the published version.[9]
Identity of "Elise"[edit]
It is not certain who "Elise" was.
Therese Malfatti[edit]

Max Unger suggested that Ludwig Nohl may have transcribed the title incorrectly and the original work may have been named "Für Therese",[10] a reference to Therese Malfatti von Rohrenbach zu Dezza (–). She was a friend and student of Beethoven's to whom he supposedly proposed in , though she turned him down to marry the Austrian nobleman and state official Wilhelm von Droßdik in [11] Note that the piano sonata no. 24, dedicated to Countess Thérèse von Brunswick, is also referred to sometimes as "für Therese". The Austrian musicologist Michael Lorenz[12] has shown that Rudolf Schachner, who in inherited Therese von Droßdik's musical scores, was the son of Babette Bredl, born out of wedlock. Babette in let Nohl copy the autograph in her possession.
Elisabeth Röckel[edit]

According to a study by Klaus Martin Kopitz, there is evidence that the piece was written for the year-old German soprano singer Elisabeth Röckel (–), the younger sister of Joseph August Röckel, who played Florestan in the revival of Beethoven's opera Fidelio. "Elise", as she was called by a parish priest (later she called herself "Betty"), had been a friend of Beethoven's since ,[13] who, according to Kopitz, perhaps wanted to marry her. But in April Elisabeth Röckel got an engagement at the theater in Bamberg where she made her stage debut as Donna Anna in Mozart's Don Giovanni and became a friend of the writer E. T. A. Hoffmann. In Röckel came back to Vienna, in she married there Beethoven's friend Johann Nepomuk Hummel.
In Kopitz published further sources about Beethoven's relationship to Röckel and the famous piano piece. It shows that she was also a close friend of Anna Milder-Hauptmann and lived together with her and her brother Joseph August in the Theater an der Wien. In a letter to Röckel, which she wrote in , she called her indeed "Elise".[17]
In an extended English version of Kopitz's essay was published with some new sources.[18]
Elise Barensfeld[edit]
In , the Canadian musicologist Rita Steblin suggested that Elise Barensfeld might be the dedicatee. Born in Regensburg and treated for a while as a child prodigy, she first travelled on concert tours with Beethoven's friend Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, also from Regensburg, and then lived with him for some time in Vienna, where she received singing lessons from Antonio Salieri. Steblin argues that Beethoven dedicated this work to the year-old Elise Barensfeld as a favour to Therese Malfatti who lived opposite Mälzel's and Barensfeld's residence and who might have given her piano lessons.[19] Steblin admits that question marks remain for her hypothesis.[20]
Music[edit]
The piece can be heard as a five-part rondo, with the form A-B-A-C-A. It is in A minor and in 3
8 time. It begins with the refrain A, a flowing melody in binary form marked Poco moto (literally "a little motion," a tempo indication that does not appear elsewhere in Beethoven's works), with an arpeggiated left hand accompaniment. The unaccompanied oscillation between the dominant E and its chromatic lower neighbor D-sharp that begins the melody has become one of the most recognizable openings in classical music, but it also serves as a main topic of musical discussion. The digression at measure 9 glances at the relative major before returning to the original theme and key, preceded by a prolongation of the dominant, E that extends the opening lower-neighbor oscillation. The pitch outline of these bars, E-F-E-D-C-B, i.e. an upper-neighbor ascent to F5 followed by a descending scale, also forms the basis of the two episodes B and C, thus unifying the piece. The B section that begins in bar 23 is in the submediant, F major. Its theme begins by tracing the outline mentioned above in somewhat elaborated fashion and modulates to the dominant, followed by 32nd-note runs repeating a cadential progression in C major in a codetta-like passage. (The chordal three-note upbeats in the left hand have been anticipated by the transition to this episode in bar 22, a clever unifying touch.) This suggests a rather expansive form, but Beethoven suddenly returns to the dominant of A minor in bar 34, once again lingering on the dominant E and its lower neighbor and leading to an exact repeat of the A section. Although another nominal episode follows (C) at bar 59, it does not leave the tonic and is rather coda-like in feel, unfolding over a dramatic, throbbing tonic pedal in the bass and emphatically cadencing in the home key. Once again, there are unifying relationships with previously heard material. The melody retraces the descending outline alluded to earlier, and the cadence in bars is an augmented version of the theme's cadence in bars 7–8. After a glance at a Neapolitan harmony (B-flat major) and a cadence at bar 76 that brings the music to a complete halt for the first and only time, an ascending A minor arpeggio and a chromatic descent over two octaves follows, sort of a cadenza in tempo, leading to a final repetition of the A section. The piece concludes without an added postlude.
Kopitz presents the finding by the German organ scholar Johannes Quack[de] that the letters that spell Elise can be decoded as the first three notes of the piece. Because an E is called an Es in German and is pronounced as "S", that makes E–(L)–(I)–S–E: E–(L)–(I)–E –E, which by enharmonic equivalents sounds the same as the written notes E–(L)–(I)–D–E.[12]

Jean-François put her on her knees on the edge of the bed, he dimmed the light in the bedroom - it became almost dark. But all the spotlights were directed at her bosom, illuminating the most intimate. First, he knelt down and began to lick her - very hard and intensely. He didnt touch the clitoris - he didnt want her to come now. The taste and smell of her juices drove him crazy.
