After putting this message on, I went back to practicing it and realized that the second page seems far more complex and harder to get than the first page. I’m referring mainly to those five bars with the 32 notes.

I think Kreisler said it best:

--------------------------------------------------

Fur Elise is best handled by intermediate players. Beginners often play it, but not often well, and they often leave out the middle part. (Some editions actually leave the middle out, too...) I think the Chopin etudes suffer from this problem a bit - the number of people who can play the first page of Op. 10#1 is far greater than the number of people who can play the whole thing. The beginning is easy compared to the a minor middle seection.

If one skips part of it I personally would not tell anyone I can play it without adding that I can’t, or won’t spend the time learning to play it all.

Anybody know why this piece is so popular among pianist wannabes ? Is it a movie theme song or advertisement Jingle, what is it about this piece that appeals to these ppl ?

For me this is one of the all time most beautiful solo piano pieces. Every time I hear it, the feeling that always comes to mind is ‘elegance’. There are few other pieces that evoke this. To me, this piece is analogous to an early Rembrandt or other great artist that I would stand in front of and marvel at the shades of color and tone he was able to give to a piece of canvas. But with Beethoven, I can do more, I can attempt to play it, to get into Beethoven’s mind, and feel reverence and awe at such musical ability! I started as an adult several years ago and when I first started practicing the music of Bach, Beethoven and others in that small circle, it was a humbling but thrilling feeling. I would be laboring over a beginner piece of music and the thought would come to me, “My god, this is Bach, or this is Beethoven!” One of the first pieces I wanted to play was Fur Elise but it was too awkward. Several months ago I returned to find in amazement that it was now “doable”. It is a work of love. I get excited with the thought of returning to it again and again, day after day, month after month, that stretches into years. Being a beginner I have accepted it will be years before this piece can be really mastered, in its entirety. But the thought of playing it, all the way through at tempo, is an exhilarating thought. In my opinion, there are several of Beethoven’s piano composition that exhibit sheer beauty. Fur Elise is one of them.
