Composed by Beethoven, L. van. Arranged by Michael Bomier. Classical,Concert,Instructional,Standards. Score. 4 pages. Michael Butkus-Bomier #3603571. Published by Michael Butkus-Bomier (A0.862659).Fur Elise has gotten a bit of a new lease on life in concert, as Valentina Lisitsa has played it as an encore on some high-profile concerts. The standard rendition of this piece is in 3/8 time, and uses a fair amount of R-L hand substitution on the melody. Our version is in 3/4, a more modern setting for a time signature, with fewer dots and flags, and uses NO hand-substitutions in that famous repeated half-step. Why bother, say the Technical Elves, behind the scenes. I agree, and thus, this setting is a straight-across figure for the RH only, with the upper final note as the sole LH kicker. Also, in much of Beethoven's music, there is a technical disconnect between some sections, openings being easy and later contrasting sections being an order of technical magnitude more difficult. So, the tempo reminder at the beginning of each section is meant to insure that the easy part does not go fast, and the hard part does not go slower. As your technical level rises, so can the pace of the whole piece, but not until then. Enjoy! MBB .
