Hi!:) Für Elise is famous Beethoven’s piece who most people know. This piece was published after Beethoven’s death. So, there are some arrangements. Until now, the original one by Beethoven has not been found. The arrangement that we can easily hear nowadays was transcribed by Ludwig Nohl. In this edition, there is a controversy for the second right-hand note in bar 7 (Is it E4 or D4). After reading some papers, I decided to play it with D4. Furthermore, since Beethoven loved several women in his lifetime, there is still controversy over the identity of Elise. Personally, I think that she would be Therese Malfatti. (A better version (from my thought) will be uploaded in Spotify. KZfaq Algorithm thinks that the better version is the same as other professional pianists’ performance. Nowadays, preparing famous slow pieces always causes great anxiety. To upload it, I have to dispute it. But, it needs lots of time to solve it. So, I decided to upload this version. If you like my performance for Fur Elise, please check the other version in Spotify in the near future) Last weekend, I traveled and took a rest, which had refreshed me. So, I can prepare great pieces in the near future. Thank you for your support! Have a good day! (I have to go outside now. So, if you guys leave comments, I will reply later! Thank you!)

When people say this piece is overplayed, it’s because many people try to rush through this piece, neglecting any emotion that Beethoven intended to portray. And I really like Kassia’s interpretation because she definitely did not try to rush, and she really put thought into the performance.

Despite how overdone this piece is, there's still something magical, scary, dark, affection behind it. I love your performance of it! :)

your playing sounds so fresh and clean. The dynamic and the speed is absolutely amazing. It is almost like how the very professional pianist play in the orchestra concerts

Whenever people say fur elise is overplayed to death, I get kinda sad? Because this is how I hear fur elise...delicate and meaningful. It's always played too fast and harshly.

It's amazing how different such a commonly played piece can sound depending on the player. I have heard this piece a thousand times, but I've never heard it quite like this, not as delicate as this. Makes all other interpretations seem surplus for me. Another amazing performance! Well done on a great job, and thanks for sharing this beautiful recording!

0:03 Beethoven hard childhood 1:13 Therese comes to his life 1:27 Happiness filled in Beethoven's mind 1:33 Therese leaves and heart broken 2:17 Beethoven's goes tired with sad and deafness 2:28 Depression starts to rise 2:38 Finds himself lone and worthless 2:50 All past memories comes to his mind 2:57 Final movements of his life 3:32 Beethoven's dies!!!!! A like if you love Beethoven

FINALLY A PERSON OF CLUTURE THAT PLAYS THE HARDER PARTS OF FUR ELISE

Was not expecting this. I hate how overplayed fur elise is but this is beautiful

Maybe it's simple, but the way you play it is magical.

This piece captures my late wife Elyse so well. It has passion, dedication, love and friendship expressed perfectly. Best rendition I have heard.

There’s something gracefully mysterious about the melody that resonates

Despite having listened to this piece multiple times and performed by different pianists, I'll be honest, your version just became my favourite. Beautiful interpretation

Ah yes, music

This makes me feel so sad... Most performers and pianists play this with no emotion at all, but I somehow could feel the pain Beethoven had here...

Kassia, you are one of the few performers on KZfaq that I feel actually expresses the true meaning of the pieces you play. You are unlike others, who try to pretend that they are amazing pianists by adding titles like “10 Hardest Songs In The World”, the playing movement 3 of ‘Moonlight Sonata’. To play that, all you need to know is your chords. To play it well, however is a whole other story. It does not matter how hard a piece is, it is how well you play it. You are a virtuoso pianist. Thank you for sharing you talent with us. 😀

I listened and played it sooo many times, yet I still like this piece. A big THANK YOU from Bosnia and Herzegovina and from Serbia!

Even tough I heard this piece played more than 100 times, your performance made me rethink the piece, i love how you didn't rush anywhere and let the emotions sink in. Wonderfull performance from a great interpreter. Hope to see more like these in the future

The fingers move so gently and smoothly it feels like slow flowing water

This is the best rendition of this piece I've ever heard on KZfaq. MAGICAL.

Still to this day this piece will be the most beautiful and iconic for me. I grew up with this piece I’d listen to it every night before i slept. It has all kinds of emotions someone could think of. Playing this piece isn’t as easy as some people think... You have to put in a tremendous amount of emotions and feeling and making sure that you you get the right feel and sound of it and you definitely did it Kassia

the interpretation makes it even better

as much as how overplayed fur elise is, they never really seem to make a version that is just so musical and different from the others. This is probably one of the best interpretations of the piece. Well done!

I was curious to see why this piece is so popular. Then after listening to it, memories of kindergarten started flowing in.

It's crazy how much better your performance sounds than most interpretations I know. Perfect!

This is played at a pace it was written to be played...so satisfying to see it not played unusually fast like in some other versions...

The emotion you put into the performance is just incredible you inspire me thanks

Just how beautifully a deaf guy depicts his emotions brushing his hands through all the keys of his piano. Undefinable.

Okay ! The interpretation, the tempo, the piano sound and the visuals are making this piece more intersting :-) I'm always surprised by your beautiful work no matter what piece you play 💕

Although a beautiful piece its been so overplayed that I usually skip when a youtuber uploads but then I saw your name and had to watch. Lovely interpretation btw

I hear this song played a lot, and this is one of the few that i can feel the emotion being played. I really enjoy it.

It's incredible how your playstyle is.... Beautiful, after thousands of music I can say you are on of my favorite ! Keep playing !! PLEASE

I really like your interpretation, this piece is too often played too quickly, so a slower interpretation is a pleasure to hear! Also, love how you searched how to played it as described in your pinned com, thanks you to bring us joy and culture !

I have only one word for this performance : LOVELY ❤

The emotion in your version is simply marvellous, best one out there!

The most wonderful piece of composition Ive ever heard.

your interpretation of this piece is quite romantic,loved it! my favorite interpretation of fur elise so far

Agree with a lot of the other comments, I really like the way you have played this. It feels really soft compared to a lot of other versions I’ve heard and it’s really nice.

В детстве у соседей за стеной стояло пианино. И девочка каждый вечер пыталась играть "К Элизе"..... А я лежал на кровати и читал "Три Мушкетёра", а по спине бегали мурашки.... Спасибо за музыку :)

For me Fur Elise is captivating...so poetic and fluid. I just love it!

I love your interpretation! You always surprise me with how much of yourself you put into a piece, even in such a simple one like Fur Elise. Truly magical!

My lord this is so beautiful always makes the hairs stand up on my neck, it's the romance and the emotion of it that gets me it's like you are living a play of emotion just a stunning piece.

This song to me is like the Mona Lisa. A work of art so magnificently iconic and perfectly constructed that with your very first glimpse you see something that is as necessary a part of this world as the sun in the sky. You doubt that the world could ever exist without that particular piece of art/music/universe in it exactly the way it is. It's in the works of Shakespeare, the sculptures and paintings of Michaelangelo, the music of Beethoven. It is that perennial image of God reaching out to Adam atop the Sistine Chapel, which calls to mind such a fresh and vivid recollection of that painting, even if you've only seen it once. It is the very universe touching and inspiring man, forming them in the womb, delivering them unto life, all in the service of knowing that one day they will bring to life a vision that only the divine could have and share with us, and each of us as individual parts of a greater, more infinite being, will recognize these visions immediately as if we belong to some greater whole who reminds us, from time to time, that everything aligned perfectly enough to create something which could only exist in it's singular form. Not a note of music out of place, not a stroke of the paintbrush errant, not a word of the poem interchangeable. Delivered in a form which is so cosmically structured that the slightest deviation would ruin it.

To me, your interpretation is an ideal model for playing this piece - the tempo is just right and there is nice rubato throughout, it breathes beautifully!🎹🌹🎵

Damn I liked listening to Für Elise for once ! I think it’s because you really tried to put emotions in the piece and you didn’t rush it. Very good performance !

The fact that you did actual research into this piece and made a choice to play one of two notes shows your dedication, Kassia!! Beautiful as always!! (On a sidenote, I can't waiiiit for Chopin's Étude Op. 10, No. 5!! Every video you upload means it's closer and closer! :D)

This piece reminds me of when I’m sad and then something amazing happens and I feel kind of happy and then randomly something happens again and I’m back to the start this piece is so beautiful but it has sad tone to it. I love this piece and will continue to love it for years to come

This took me back to when we had movie time in class rooms. I was in the 4th grade in 96 and I can remember hearing this in a old Christmas movie.

오라이 오라이 오라이.ㅎㅎㅎ 잘 듣었습니다. 매번 좋은 연주 감사드립니다.

It's amazing how you take a relative easy song to such an high level!

Как же я долго искала название этой мелодии😂😂 На слух знаю А название нет😂. Красивая мелодия 🔥

Best 2nd movement I've heard, such tenderness. Thank you for inspiration.

i’m really in love with your interpretation to this piece 😍😍❤️❤️

As a pianist, I love how gracefully you play. Claps👏👏👏

A well done version of my favourite Beethoven song. Beautiful!

우아,노래 넘 좋다.마음이 편해져요.

I hear fur elise so often it gets quite annoying, but I lovee this iteration. It has so much emotion and is very refreshing!

This is the very first piano piece I wanted to learn on the piano, because when I was a kid my aunt used to play it always when she visited us and the melody has always been hauntingly beautiful for me. I also like that D4 detail, there is something fresh about the sound. Anyway.... you are my great inspiration, the way you played it is beautiful and soft with lots of emotions and even though I mostly focus on making piano covers, I have to admit I started to get into classical music again. Thank you for being such a great inspiration for all the (aspiring) pianists out there! ♥

At school, this melody was used as the starting bell for the lesson. It took me back to my primary school years :(

Your interpretation of für Elise is beautiful, I love it a lot more than the original! So calming, and so lovely!

제가 엘리제를 위하여 엄청 좋아하는데 제가 본 사람 중 제일 잘 친 것 같아요!!

I love how controlled your playing is. Your skill level is unbelievable. I am still at the point where the weight of the piano dictates my speed, as I found out during my first piano concert where I took the agitato section of Rachmaninoff prelude in c Sharp minor close to 170 bpm over the intended 150 bpm.

It's kinda magical and charming the way that her hands deal so well with piano, I stayed hipnotized

This brotha paved the way for the composer you hear from that time until now🦁

I learn this piece now and you playing is so inspiring!! Tempo is really good, I think, Für Elise shouldn't be played too fast! Love this perfomance! 😊❤

Oh my god... You made this piece sound so much more enjoyable! I thought I wouldn't like it but I was wrong! Beautiful!

A beautiful masterpiece! Love all of your videos. I always wanted to learn piano. So, bought a piano 6 months ago and practicing from the youtube tutorials. It took me around 6 months to learn Für Elise. I am still improving...

Piękny utwór relaksuje.

Your hand flow is beautiful. I wasn't even listening to the music I was just staring at you hands

The second best interpretation of this piece I've ever heard (best is Lang Lang one IMO). Really beautiful

Soft piano notes soothe the wonderful soul 💖

マジでかっこいい。 あなたのように弾けるよう頑張ろうと思います！

I've heard this piece a thousand times, but this sounds completely different from any performance I heard yet

Once again great performance Kassia! Maybe Chopin- Etude Op.10 No.3 next? Tristesse is one of my favorite Chopin pieces 😅

Love this piece and how delicately you play it . Would love to learn to play it

There's something magical and dark about the world of Fur Elise

I’ve always hated how overplayed this piece is because Rousseau’s version is fast and has no feeling or emotion in it. I’m very proud of you Kassia! The piece can sound good depending the player,and this is amazing. Again,I want to say,great job Kassia! Prenzal-

I can listen to it forever. It's amazing...

It sounds so sweet and clear and flows like honey.

I didn’t expect to hear that D instead of an E. interesting choice, it works pretty well.

Oh Für Elise! :) This piece is one of the pieces that I play more times per day lol, I really loved your performance, it's calm and peaceful. Congratulations :)

Minha filha de 10 anos ouve comigo desde bebê! Recentemente ela ganhou um teclado de presente de aniversário e do nada, de ouvido, me apareceu tocando Fur Elise no teclado! Pensem em um pai babando! 😍😂😂😂

I love how you brought out such elegance in the cadence. Super job! 😉

This piece is overplayed but only a few people can play it right... Kassia is one of them

I love fur Elise one of my favorite classical pieces

Күллі әлемді тамсандыра білген туындының бірі. Меніңде сүйікті композициям. Бала күнімде әлі есімде Бетховен мен Моцарт туындыларын тыңдап жүретінбіз. Ал бұл әуені құлаққа сондай жағымды, тыңдаған сайын ерекше сезімге бөлейді💐. Жалпы, нағыз асқан шеберлік пен әдемілікті бейнелейді👏! Қазақстаннан сәлем! 😘❤🇰🇿

When you put a simple song in the hands of a master.... You get this.

Enjoying this before 1 million anyone?

This was the song that played when I was in elementary school. It was for like an alarm for brake in between classes.

How complex and you can real appreciation on the hand movements for this piece

This one is the best fur elise I have ever heard, I was searching for one, in order to practice it on piano, and luckily found this, now my dream is to play it smooth n nice like you

I love this piece ! It’s si peaceful.

It's important to remember that when Beethoven wrote this, he was totally deaf. I wonder, has anyone ever played it the way he heard it in his mind, or is such artistry beyond mere human talent?

This is one of my favorite classical songs. I love it! :) Thank you for sharing!

Such a soulful piece.

I've been perfecting this piece for a few weeks now. Happy to see it in my sub box :)

Listening to it during work to calm my soul... :D Thank you for keep putting on such beautiful plays. You're truly amazing 💕 ~as always, sending all the love from Hungary~ 🇭🇺💖

I like how you played this, a lot of people push the pace but you did not !

Very nice, i love the way you put emotion into way you play this piece. I feel like it brings out even the smallest bits about ourselves out, thank you.

연주 기가막히시네요!!! 매번 들어올때마다 감탄하고 갑니다!
