Beethoven: Für Elise • Piano Piece "Lustig - traurig" for piano

It is not only Beethoven's most famous piano piece, but also one of the most famous musical works of all, the piano piece “For Elise”. The fact that experts are still wondering who might be hiding behind the ominous Elise has not detracted from the popularity of this “highlight”. Every piano student wants to play “the Elise” once.

The Wiener Urtext Edition presents a new edition for the Beethoven Year 2020, which answers some questions frequently asked by piano teachers and cleanses the score of some unjustified changes of the 20th century. A retouching of the distribution of the notes across the staves, which goes back to Beethoven himself, may even provide new inspiration for the fingering.

The edition also contains the small piano piece “Lustig und Traurig” (WoO 54), which is closely related to “Für Elise” in terms of its technical and musical demands.
