0:13 Introduction: one of the most famous piano pieces. 0:38 Why did Beethoven compose it?
0:53 ANOTHER VERSION of Für Elise. 1:10 A bit of history. 1:43 ‘Für Therese’?
2:13 Why is ‘Für Elise so famous? 2.52 Is the familiar version entirely by Beethoven!
3:07 The second version. 4:14 The Famous Version. 4:41 A sort of ‘Song without Words’.
5:05 A bagatelle. 5:12 ‘Jaws’ and The oscillating semitone 5:33 Three blind mice reversed.
6:04 E.S.E. - the name concealed in the tune. 6:40 What may have irritated Beethoven.
7:17 The second half of the tune. 8:00 The rhythmic motif and the 5th Symphony.
8:31 Connection with the Tempest Sonata. 9:22 To be honest - more interesting…
9:55 emphasis on the second semiquaver. 10:17 structure of the familiar version.
10:32 The operatic 1st episode. 10:56 Darker 2nd episode in A minor.
11:14 Magnificent semitone shift. 12:03 Triplet cadenza. 12:06 Rondo structure.
12:44 Love gift to ? 13:10 ‘Ugly and half mad’. 13:38 Discussion of later 1822 version.
14:19 Rhythmic displacement. 14:41 Loki interrupts. 14:45 Strange dislocation in the accompaniment.
15:33 Getting rid of repetitions. 16:10 Chopinesque ornamentation.
16:29 Written out accelerando. 16:51 A new bit we’ve never heard before.
17:13 Clumsy edit removed. 17:43 Changes to the 1st episode. 18:04 A minor episode.
18:35 Triplet cadenza is moved to the end. 19:28 A more ‘professional’ realisation.
20:14 The unknown 1822 version - complete with video animation.
In 1810 Beethoven composed a short piano piece, which we now know as ‘Für Elise’. It has become (with the possible exception of the first movement of the ‘Moonlight’ Sonata) Beethoven’s most famous composition for piano, which is something of an irony, because Beethoven never had the piece published, and indeed the version we know today comes from a somewhat unreliable source having been transcribed in the 1860s from a manuscript that subsequently disappeared. The dedication, “Für Elise’ may itself be a misreading of a more likely dedication to Therese Malfatti, who turned down Beethoven’s proposal of marriage in 1810.
Twelve years later, in 1822, after completing his final three piano sonatas, Beethoven put together an assortment of short Bagatelles for piano, some of them newly composed, and some revisions of older pieces. He sketched out a revised version of ‘Für Elise’, embellishing some of the material, rhythmically displacing the accompaniment, and slightly altering the structure. These modifications are a fascinating glimpse at the composer’s ‘tool-shed’, as we watch Beethoven altering and improving things that he appears to have disliked in the first version. In the end, he decided not to publish this revised version and so it was not included among the Op 119 Bagatelles.
This video contains a discussion of the history of this mysterious piece, and a performance of the revised version of the score from 1822.
Published versions of Beethoven’s 1822 sketch differ slightly: the British musicologist, Barry Cooper published a version of the sketch in 1989, and in 2021 Bärenreiter Urtext published an excellent new edition of the Bagatelle in A minor (Für Elise) containing the original version, a printed version of Beethoven’s draft of the piece with his 1822 alterations, and a completion (from the revised draft) of the 1822 version by Mario Aschauer, which closely resembles the version performed in this video. The notated material in the video reproduces the essential elements in Beethoven’s 1822 revision. Any extra material, not found in Beethoven's original version, or in his 1822 sketch, is written in small notes in the video animation.
