Asian parents be like: "Pretty good, now learn level 6 by tomorrow"

I feel like there's few levels missing between 4th and 5th

Holy shit, Level 5 sounds like Beethoven just turned to the dark side after years of emotional conflict. What a masterpiece. I’m sure Beethoven himself would’ve loved to hear this.

The beginning: tap, tap, tap, tap, okay we done Level 5: HoPe YoU gReW eLeVeN mOrE hAnDs

Level 1: Für baby Elise Level 2: Für teenage Elise Level 3: Für Elise Level 4: still Für Elise Level 5: Für Yuja Wang

Requirements for level 1: fingers Requirements for level 2: a brain Requirements for level 3: a little experience in piano and some free time Requirements for level 4: Being descent at piano and a week or two to practice Requirements for level 5: Being immortal to carpel tunnel Having two lifetimes of practice Literally being god Losing your will to live Having no social life Money to buy a few pianos after you break them in frustration

Beethoven would have been proud...the 5th was an outstanding original composition that just happened to be accented with all movements of Für Elise. ❤

This guy deserves at least 20 million more subscribers for this, this is absolutely amazing. For me as a two and a half year pianist, I understand how hard this is.

I don’t know why everyone saying this is so hard to play? I pressed the play button and it worked just fine.

Level 1: How beginners play Level 2: How I play Level 3: How my sister plays Level 4: How Beethoven plays Level 5: What I'm expected to play because my cousins just found out I play piano so i got to learn this in only 2 days, despite being a beginner

Wow! What a stunningly beautiful arrangement and performance! I've seen a thousand different takes on Fur Elise yet I could witness this one a thousand times and still be in awe! Absolutely magnificent!

Can we also appreciate how he is playing all these big notes for us to see

Level 5 was probably what Beethoven replaced the original song with when he found out Elise was engaged.

his hands: lvl 1: abrupt movements lvl 2: steady. lvl 3: *graceful and elegant.* lvl 4: _extra_ power lvl 5: broken keys

Not only is the playing and whole song AMAZING but the subtiteles are just mastoso and brilliant 🤩

stop one second to admirate his playing skills, wich is amazing. now stop another one to appreciate the monologue he create, like, I could imagine all the scene while listen to the song perfection.

Für Elise WAS supposed to be a love poem... It was made Simple on purpose, so that she would be able to play it confortably... Well, that is until Beethoven realized she was spoken off to someone, then he created the middle parts just to make sure she would never be able to play it...

i bought the whole piano SO I'M GONNA USE ALL OF IT

This!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏 the whole experience..best! this has always been one of my favorite pieces and you gave it such life

Oh my god. I have been playing Fur Elise since I was in 6th grade but this literally brought me to tears. Bravo 👏 👏👏👏👏👏

teacher: humans have 10 fingers MusicalBasics: imma ignore this part

Him: *Plays Fur Elise but Level 5* Beethoven: Claps in the background Elise: Cries in the corner

I cried just by seeing your hands..... You are Amazing...... Love and Magic from France 😍🙏

Bravo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 ... good luck to your concert 💐

5:33 I thought he's gonna play 'bad romance' Was terrified for a moment.

The subtitles in level 5 is probably the best story I've ever read

Sos un capo! Te felicito por tu don y habilidad

I have never been so entertainment by a video with 2 hands playing the piano! You are just hilarious and really really good! Your story telling is making me think of this new artist (well he is 33 and working for it since age 12) Ren. You also combine many different artistic skill together. Genre bending, storytelling, creating something so beautiful and new! ❤ Thank you for not giving up!

“I paid for 88 keys so I’m gonna use 88 keys,” can’t remember where I heard this but it definitely applies here 😂. Edit; thanks for the likes lol

Can we just appreciate that this is a HUMAN playing level 5

The amazing thing i experienced with the extreme version, is i quickly lost track of the melody because of all the flourish and it sounded like a completely different piece, but somehow the feeling i got from it was similar to the original. Awesome.

I fell in love with piano not long ago, and I have to say that as many pieces as I heard, this is most beautiful one, congratulations! 🎉🎉You're a true inspiration for me. Thank you

Level 1: Fur Elise Level 2: This is for Elise Level 3: This piece is for my friend Elise Level 4: This composition is for a friend I call Elise Level 5: This musical composition for the piano is made for a homo sapiens organism with possessing forty-six X chromosomes whose first name in her birth certificate is “Elise”.

* Brain: I want to learn this * Hands: This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years.

0:35 me too this is beautiful c major

I used to play this song on the piano many years ago. So nice to hear this song again in different versions.

4:15 Even the light can’t catch his fingers(right hand)

level 1: Beethoven's original draft level 5: Beethoven's draft after Elise rejected him

KAUN HAI YE BEY....... such a beautiful soul, GRATITUDE for just being there. HAPPY FOR YOU SIR

Just AMAZING, FABULOUS, YOU play soooooo well….I’m SPEECHLESS…..What a mesmerising performance….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Me randomly scrambling through all my keys in the piano: wow, I've mastered the 5th level of Für Elise.

Replace “level” with “day” and you got yourself a simply piano add

I just LOVE the subtitles,it’s perfect, complimenting the music so nicely…❤❤❤❤❤

Nice composition and cover!!!!!

Level 5 should be titled “Für Elise: Sparta Remix”

Level 4: Chopsticks Level 5: Moonlight sonata 3rd movement

Ik i'm late but just one word I can say after hearing it again and again BEAUTIFUL! PERFECT!! You played is sooooooooooooo amazingly!!!

I don't know what to look at the colours or your hands.😵‍💫🤯 Bravo 👏 simply extreme epic

Level 5 is one of those song that’s reflects every emotion. It’s chaotically beautiful.

Fun fact: The woman that Beethoven loved was actually named Therese. The song’s original name was Für Therese but because Beethoven’s handwriting was so bad, the people actually thought it said Für Elise.

The song is genius, the pianist is unbelievable. The music captured me.

I will never in my life do anything as impressive as what I just saw. Incredible!

Level 1: your sister who played for a month Level 2: your sister a week after Level 3: that kid who practices for an hour a day Level 4: the kid who practices for an hour a day’s older brother Level 5: that one Asian kid who can do everything better than you

Beethoven wrote Fur Elise for one of his student's that he fell in love with. Since she wasn't the best at piano, he made the notes really easy. After learning about her engagement, he was heartbroken and wrote the rest of the song so hard, that she'll never be able to play it.

Wow I’ve been trying to learn keyboard. It would take so long to be that good. I am amazed you are so talented 🤩

Among the most amazing pieces I've ever heard. I almost have no words. Level 5 was jaw-droppingly stellar and completely deserved the 5M views it got. Huge kudos--again!:-)))

Can we talk about the subtitles in level 5 😂 He was like: BEETHOVEN OUT

"Everyone has that dark dramatic phase" Für Elise:

I could have cybernetic hands that never tire, 100yrs of practice, & 100 video game cheat codes & not come close to pulling this off. You are the true definition of a hardcore badass!

Increible!

How to make songs hard: add arpeggios

Asian parent. Level 1: you're dead to me Level 2: I dont know you Level 3: good. For a 3 years old Level 4: you can have dinner Level 5: nice warm-up

I love the song that you played.

Fantastic!!!! Can you make an arrangement for 5 Levels of Music Box Dancer (Frank Mills)? I'd love to hear how that turns out.

Imagine being halfway through the “Expert” piece, then missing/hitting the wrong note...

Nobody: Asian moms: *now play it backwards*

Absolutely incredible

Its amazing

The captions got me crying, the ned captions got me laughing. "YOU DARE REFUSE ME, WHENCH"

The Subtitles- you only need 2 fingers for this level smoother playing, but forgot to use pedal Better dynamics here, legato my favorite part about Fur Elise - this beautiful C major Beethoven really loved Elise, didn't he? Even better dynamics, slightly faster tempo the happy go lucky part. (no one actually likes this section) this is the hardest part of the original piece When played tenderly and softly, this piece sounds like a beautiful love poem I know you're getting bored, so lets bring on Level 5... So, Elise be like, "I have a boyfriend," and now Beethoven: "HOW DARE YOU REJECT ME, WENCH?" (proceeds to bang the piano which he can't hear) "I spent so many hours writing this piece fur you. And now you turn your back on me?" "Ok I lied... it probably took me 20 minutes" "But still! Do you have any idea the number of nights I spent thinking about you?" "You were my immortal beloved..." "I still remember when you first came to my piano studio" "You were my favorite student. By far." "I was enamoured by your grace. your beauty, and your tenderness" But clearly, you did not feel the same Many women proposed to me over the years, but the whole time, I only had you in my mind. But clearly it is all over now. You're nothing to me anymore. I will bear the scars of this pain. I will RISE FROM THE ASHES I may be losing my hearing. But I have not lost my brain The symphonies in my head... the string quartets, the sonatas, they yearn to be written And I. Will. NOT. Let the likes of you stop me from becoming immortal. From ashes to ashes, we all must pass through life You can't take it with you. But you can leave behind a legacy. So you have decided to marry that buffoon merchant. I get it. He's rich while I'm just a poor composer But do you not see what's inside my soul? Do you not hear the purity of my music, its strength and its power? Instead all you see is money. Oh and he's taller, which is also your preference But so what if I am just a poor, short composer with failing hearing? I too deserve love. I too want kids. You could have been remembered as Beethoven's wife. As my queen, my empress, my angel Instead, you will be forgotten in the sands of time. People will worship my name forever, but they will never know the hole in my heart that you have left me Now fare you well, respected Elise! I wish you all the good and beautiful things in this life." Bear me in memory - no one can wish you a brighter, happier life than I - Even should it be that you care not at all for me... Sincerely... your devoted servant and friend... ~Ludwig van Beethoven Quietly, Beethoven leaves Elise's apartment complex, walking towards the city outskirts "Now. I have no more distractions." It's time to meet my destiny. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PRINCES. BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE BEETHOVEN. (my brother doesnt count) (seriously, that guys bonkers) Chopin, you suck too BEETHOVEN OUT

Haha! Ending with Winter Wind. Amazing arrangement and performance!

How !! Just mesmerising!! Hats off sir.

4:15 That glissando was faster than sanic

The people who disliked this didn’t have subtitles on for the extreme version

Absolutely fantastic!

The last one is insane! Shocking! Really enchanting!

Anyone else get the “simply piano” ad that plays Für Elise before the video began?

Imagine getting into an argument with him on text

Spot on ❤❤

gracias por existir thank you for existing

Level 5 sounds angry... quite a different perspective on such a soft and delicate song.

They say humans are superior for their intelligence. But this person has got to be superior for hand eye coordination and intelligence. (Thank you for hearting my comment)

I feel that that 3 level intermediate was nice it was at the perfect level for me It was very peaceful

Amazing job that's really impressive 👏

"I'm ear blind." - Beethoven

forreal the captions on this were hilarious, you turned a song into a whole roast diss track of a story

Awesome - pretty epic improvisation!

Incredible!

When you know that you can't even play noob version

Level 5 is like the most impossible level I have ever seen. This video is too awesome

Omg level 3 is so relaxing me wow

This one gets really fascinating when the key changes come into play

Fun fact: If you want to watch Beethoven become a dictator and give a full speech, turn the captions on during Level 5

4:27 *"I will, not let the likes of you, stop me from being immortal"* **Truer words had never been said**

The captions for Level 5 is 👌👌👌

Respect for this man

Level 5 : How to get arthritis

you could use level 5 as an anime op and no one would ever notice

Just wow.... I am impressed
