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

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.

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

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.

Beethoven was not always deaf. He BEGAN losing his hearing at 28 or 29, by which time was already an accomplished composer. His hearing was completely gone by the time he was 45. Furthermore, he wrote this piece originally so that his neighbor, a young pianist of whom he was particularly enamored, could learn to play it...(Thus the title, "FOR ELISE"). But upon listening to her play, he realized she was not very good. So he wrote the simple beginning so that even she could play it. Then later, he discovered she was already engaged, and wrote the second half so that she could NEVER 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."

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.

This shit goes hard AF. Classical music SLAPS.

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

Only OG’s remember when this song was released

Lyrics: Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnnn Ddduunnnnnn Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnnn Ddduunnnnnn Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnnn Ddduunnnnnn Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnn Dun dun dun dunnnnn Ddduunnnnnn Thank you ♥️

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

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

Elise: I have a boyfriend Beethoven: I can't hear you

*_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..._

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

“this doesnt seem to hard? lets try to learn it” 0:52 : let me introduce myself.

Beethoven said : "It's not bad playing a wrong note, but playing without feeling is unforgivable..... " this is just very fast.....

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.

I'm eleventeen years old and I love this music. I've been listening to this song for the past 156 years.

Can’t wait for this dude to drop his next album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Girl: rejects Beethoven Beethoven: Imma do what's called a pro gamer move

"Learn how to play the piano in 2 weeks" The people in the advertisement:

THIS ALBUM IS FIRE 🗣🗣‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

2:02 that is just so incredibly smooth the beat drop wow

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

Maybe if Elise didn't reject Beethoven, this song will be easier

You guys are right about Beethoven

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.

Beethoven: Creates ez song for his love her: i have a boyfriend Beethoven: *uno reverse card*

I play this for my imaginary girlfriend everyday and she is very impressed

beethoven was one of the few people who loved listening to classical music

i love how simple humans are, even hundreds of years later the same music still works for us

We can blame Elise for the times we had trouble playing.

2:00 - 2:06 is probably the smoothest transition I've ever heard.

"Here's a beautiful Beethoven piece" >rushes through as fast as possible

Watching this video years after I saw it for the first time and being able to say "I can play this" is one of the most beautiful feelings on earth

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*

Everyone is talking about what a great musician Beethoven is, but is nobody going to talk about how well this person played this Piece? Mind-Blowing !

I remember when this first hit.. me and my Bavarian buddies used to vibe to this in our horse drawn carriage.

1:07 transition 🔥🔥🔥 1:59 Transition 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

0:05 Beethoven's hard childhood 0:50 Elise came in life of Beethoven 1:06 Beethoven is heart broken 1:35 Beethoven is tired of his life his deafness 1:41 goes in depression 1:57 emotions run through his veins 2:05 experiences last movements if his life 2:27 ....death One like for Beethoven

Pro tip: Play this piece's easy parts in front of your parents, they'll be convinced that you're a piano genius.

4 june 2024 It brings me back in my good time... When everything was good ❤️

The first time I heard this song was over 10 years ago. And since then this music has always been one of my all time favorites, it has that raw emotional impact that is hard with only a single instrument, that is hard to come by nowadays.

Fur elise: **exist** Simply Piano Ad: "Allow me to introduce myself"

This guy Beethoven has a lot of potential, can’t wait to see him on stage one day

this beethoven music did my mind relax.....😌😌🎹

a little right play is perfect.

Beethoven wrote Fur Elise for one of his students that he fell in love with. Since she wasn't the best at the 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. You learned something today! :D

i literally searched on youtube "old song beethoven dududududududududuuddu" and this was the first vid to come up and it was exactly what i was looking for

2:05 is just magnificent

This makes me feel better

Imagine you’ve learnt piano for 3 years just to play this for your crush and suddenly realized her name is Elise

1:37 you can literally feel Beethoven's heart breaking while listening this

My name is Elisa.and this is my favourite piece ever❤

Beethoven: *writes love song for his student* Asian ice cream trucks:

This piece got me into old classical music

This guy’s hands move faster than my Wi-Fi

Beethoven: “You guys ready??!!!” Crowd: “YEEAAHH!” Beethoven: “I can’t hear you...”

This person deserves 100 million subs!!

This song>>>>

Take that Therese

*Therese was one of Beethoven's student whom he fell in love with. She was Not good at the piano, so he made it easy for her. Unfortunately, Therese rejected him. Beethoven was heartbroken and made it hard for her to play.* But this is not the original one, the piece which we know today is transcribed by a musician scholar, Ludwig Nohl. Beethoven loved several women in his life. So nobody knows who Therese (or as some believe, she might be Elise) is.

To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.

This brings back memories of 2013.

I will learn this in case of an emergency. You never know when you'll find a cat chasing a mouse.

Love and hate of a man when channelized does wonders.

As someone who’s French name is Elise I really like this song 🎧

"Hey, it's that one classical song"

Beethoven: literally writes the most influential music in human history while deaf Me: can’t even get off the couch to look for the remote

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.

What’s a landlord’s favourite piano music? Fur Elise.

Beethoven: writes nice but simple melody to help the woman he loves learn piano Elise: marries another man Beethoveen *_COWABUNGA IT IS_*

Both the easiest song to learn and the hardest song to learn at the same time

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.

*The Beautiful Song of the Piano Ever*

Girl: rejects Beethoven Beethoven: I ama do what's called a pro gamer move

You can hear when he found out she was engaged

If I could I would give this one thousand stars ,that is how much I like this music!!It is the real thing!

I am enjoying this with all of my heart, soul and body. Thank you for this beautiful melody, it really warmed my heart ❤️

Them: I can play piano. Me: I can play piano tiles.

When he said the E,D#,E,D#,E,B,D,C,A. I felt that

Ü! I am really happy finally found it!

One of Beethoven's most famous pieces in my opinion.

This was supposed to be easy but for a man who was madly in love, you can hear the emotions he tried to hide, add the fact that his deafness didn't stopped him from writing this, I felt dumped for only playing the first 45 seconds of the whole song ☺

The actual name was "Für Therese". Beethoven did like her but she didn't like him back. He did write it for her, he keept it easy so she could play it. He got rejected, he was sad. He did make it harder to play so she could never play it. He named the song "Für Therese" But his handwriting was so bad that they thought the name was "Für Elise". They did search for Elise, like who it could be. They did found a (I guess) friend named Elise. So the went for the name "Für Elise". If you search on google you can finde a picture. And actually the piece was not realiesed when he was alive, but I'm not sure about that. :) That's the sad story about the masterpiece. Hope you enjoy it! (: (Sorry for my bad english.)

In 1978 in Houston Texas a girl next door to me in the apartments had an upright piano and would play this music. I remember her to this day. Also a girl friend in 1981 had a daughter 3 years old, we bought her a music box with this music. I remember her to this day.😍

One of the most beautiful composition ever written

0:51 i think this is the part where Beethoven just went "imma end her whole career"

"To play a wrong note is insignificant, to play without passion is inexcusable..."

If I'm being honest I've watched this video since 2020 and I probably came back to it over 1,000 times and I just recently learned about its story

The history behind this song is the ultimate heights of petty and I love it.

Brain: let's do this Hands:wtf
