Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your compliment and thank you for watching the video. I tried to play the piece with as minimal amount of my musical influence as possible and just concentrate on playing the notes....it isn't me or my playing, it is all Beethoven's beautiful melody. Regards, Edmund
@poohbear1059 The notes at :47 are open E, harmonic E one octave higher on the E string. Then D# E D# E D# E in the first position on A string. Hope this help. If you need more info on the music let me know. Thanks for listening. Regards, Edmund
@StudioAlNaqqash Thank you for listening and commenting. Glad you liked. The violin was made in 1973 by Erich Sandner in Mittenwald, Germany (cost was $1500 in 1973, probably would cost in the 3500-7500 range now). The bow is a Herbert Wanka cost in the 1500-2500 range now. Strings are Thomastik Dominants. You should be able to get a very good sound from a violin in the 300-500 price range. Make sure that you have good strings. I urge players to focus on practice and not equipment.Thanks, Edmund
Hi Nothing, I definitely I am open minded about different interpretations. That said, I agree with you, Beethoven's original is tough to make better. Regards, Edmund
Thank you for listening, commenting, and your kind words. I do not use a shoulder rest. Most violinists (from beginners to concert violinists) use shoulder rests. However many of the old school concert violinists, including Heifetz, did not use them. I have been told that Heifetz would not let his students use them. My thoughts on shoulder rests are if a player can play better and is more comfortable using them they should. Regards, Edmund
Thank you for listening and commenting. I agree....Beethoven's songs are incredible. It is pure genius that he, like Bach and Mozart and some others, can write such beautiful melodies with just a few simple notes. Regards, Edmund
Hi Lucfi, Glad to hear you are a violinist too. Hoping to hear your videos on youtube some time in the future. Thanks for the kind words and best wishes with your musical journey. Regards, Edmund
Thank you so much for your kind words. Comments like yours make me realize that I have achieved the goal of my interpretation- to let the music speak for itself and sing out without any additions or influences from me....just Beethoven. And when you have music from a creative genius at Beethoven's level all you need is the music. Regards, Edmund
Hello Nazari, I have tried to keep up on the comments on all my videos. Regrettably, comments I had not had a chance to respond to that are over 2 months old have been all deleted by the powers that be. Feel awful that I have not had a chance to respond to everyone who has taken the time to write. Nonetheless, I appreciate your and others support. I am hoping-planning to get back to making videos one of these days (years)! Regards, Edmund

I love this song, your so very talented. I liked the talent and effort that went into this, I just started the violin (I'm in 6th grade) and I hope I get as good as you one day :D
Daniel thank you for listening and commenting. Happy to hear you have started violin and I wish you the best with your violin endeavors. It is an incredible instrument. The more you put in, the more you get out. Your efforts will be rewarded. Also there is so much beautiful music at the beginner, novice, intermediate one has music to learn and enjoy forever. Best wishes, Edmund
edmund jacobs Thank you, I can play Hot cross buns pretty quick and I'm learning pirates of the carriebean (Forgot how to spell it) them song right now. That's for your comment also, I'm greatly inspired, I love how you try to respond to everyone you can.
Daniel Jamieson Thanks Daniel. I try to respond to everyone's comments. Unfortunately some of the comments are not forwarded to my email and seem to get lost. Sounds like you are learning some fun music. Fortunately there is a near endless amount of free sheet music on the internet. Best wishes and hope to see your violin videos on youtube some day. Regards, Edmund
edmund jacobs I'm also learning Twinkle Twinkle, Well I know it but I practice it to get better at it. Like I said, I hope to get as good as you and other good violin players, not only is your music good and your talented at the violin, it's enjoyable to listen to.
Daniel Jamieson Thank you again for listening and commenting Daniel and best wishes on your musical endeavors. Hope to hear you on youtube sometime. Regards, Edmund
Hello Jasmina, Thank you for listening and commenting....I am glad you enjoyed the video so much!!! You are correct....it is a great cover! Not because I am a good violinist....there are over 1,000 violinists on youtube better than I am! The reason it is so good is because I just played the notes. Beethoven's music is incredibly beautiful and pure genius! Jejejeje, all I had to do to sound great is play the notes......it isn't me, it's the music! Thanks Beethoven
Olá Nicolas, Obrigado por ouvir e palavras gentis. Cumprimentos com seus estudos de violino. Olhando para a frente a seus vídeos do violino do youtube. Atenciosamente, Edmundo tradutor Google

Hola Ns, Esta es una melodía tan maravillosa y me encanta también. Gracias por escuchar y tomar el tiempo para comentar. Agradezco sus pensamientos y apoyo. Mis mejores deseos, Edmundo
Sounds beautiful. Had this song stuck in my head. I first heard it played on violin, so I guess subconsciously I kind of favor hearing it played on violin.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a wonderful piece to play and sounds awesome on a lot of different instruments. I look forward to hearing your version. Regards, Edmund
Carolina, muchas gracias por escuchar, comentar y suscribirse. Agradezco sus amables palabras y apoyo. Esta es una pieza increíble y una alegría para jugar y escuchar. Estoy encantado de oír que está aprendiendo violín. Aprender a tocar el violín tiene paciencia pero la recompensa es enorme .... la capacidad de reproducir tanto música maravillosa. Me he suscrito a tu canal y esperamos oír su versión en youtube en algún momento en el futuro. Mis mejores deseos, Edmundo
This isn't cool, nor nice. It is calming, beyond beauty. Shall I say... magic? Sir, you are the lord of that violin and the messenger of the pure music.
Hello Warlock. I am using using Thomastik Vision strings in medium gauge in this video. My three favorite types of strings are Evah Pirazzi in heavy gauge (they are a bit pricey so I use less frequently), Thomastik Visions (use in medium gauge and would like to try heavy gauge) and the strings I most often use are Thomastik Dominants in heavy gauge. Regards, Edmund
I figured out how to play this but I started in a different key. I started it on D. I've been teaching myself ever since I started in January but it has helped to have been playing guitar for 13 years. Thanks for the post and for playing it in the right key!
I am not the best to have played Fur Elise. However, I do appreciate your kind words and am happy you liked this video. I tried to play 'just the notes' and the music speaks for itself. Thank you for listening and commenting. Regards, Edmund
Jimmy, thank you so much for listening and commenting. Violin is a most beautiful mistress. Best wishes with your violin studies and hope to hear you on RUclips in the future. Regards, edmund

I started playing violin last year and I'm now in an ensumble and an orchestra I've done four estedfods and they were all awesome, this is amazing, especially the way you play, I don't know why you don't have like a bajillion supporters, and I just realised that I watched this last year :)

Hi Hannah, Thanks for listening and commenting. Yes, I continue to play. Unfortunately I do not have a place to record so my uploads are on hold. Hopefully soon and I will load more violin videos. Regards, Edmund
If you practice diligently an hour a day most days and have a good teacher you can learn to play a ton of beautiful music. In fact many (if not most of the most beautiful melodies will be playable). This said, most of the very difficult works (Bach's Sonatas and Partitas, Paganini's 24 caprices) will be out of reach for all but the most dedicated adult students. The reason for this is that violin is one of the most technical challenging instruments to play and one where natural musical aptitude
Jacob Anderson Jacob thank you for listening and commenting. I am glad you enjoyed this video. I wish you the very best with your violin endeavors. It is an instrument that takes a lot of practice to learn and maintain. Good news is you will be able to play Fur Elise and a lot of beautiful melodies, probably within a year, with a fair amount of practice and good instruction. Regards, Edmund
Liz thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate your support and I am glad you enjoyed. My violin playing is modest however Beethoven's genius is phenomenal and towering. I am continually amazed how the greats like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and others can write a few simple notes that are so magical, beautiful and eternal. As a player I just played these notes and the music speaks for itself. I hope to add some more classics to my channel in the future and I hope you have a chance to listen. Best wishes, Edmund
Hi Calvin, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Best wishes with your violin studies. Keep practicing and you will be this good someday. Thanks for the kind words and support. Regards, Edmund
Thank you for listening and commenting Tom. Thank you for your kind words and I am happy to hear you liked this version of Beethoven's incredible melody. Bass is an awesome instrument too. That said if you really enjoy listening to violin maybe you should consider taking some lessons and learn to play. Regards, Edmund
@rikyyyable Thank you for listening and commenting. The violin is an Erich Sander made in Mittenwald, Germany 1973. Cost of violin new in 1973 was $1500.00. If one wanted to purchase an equivalent violin today used or new cost would be in the 2,000 to 10,000 range. My dad purchased the instrument when my family and I traveled there in 1974. Bow is a Herbert Wanka made in 1978, the strings are Thomastik Visions, medium gauge and the rosin is Pirastro Goldflex. Regards, Edmund
I love this!~ Two of my most favorite things have come together and I couldn't be happier! I honestly don't know why I didn't try to find this sooner!~ Great job!
Hi Cats Rule, It is an amazing piece....I just played the notes as they are...with minimal vibrato and no phrasing.....who needs to interpret music this incredible? Just play the notes and the music speaks for itself. Thanks for your kind words.....glad you liked. Regards, Edmund

Hello NothingYT, So glad to hear you like this version of Fur Elise. Thanks for listening and commenting. Regards, Edmund
yea like 7 or 8 videos ive seen have like dubstep in it and that just ruins the song.
Hi Nothing, I definitely I am open minded about different interpretations. That said, I agree with you, Beethoven's original is tough to make better. Regards, Edmund
NothingYT quite possibly the best love song ever made

Just today I found out Fur Elise can be played on the violin. This sounded great. Well played! I'm going to try it out my violin.

Thank you for listening and commenting Tom. Thank you for your kind words and I am happy to hear you liked this version of Beethoven's incredible melody. Bass is an awesome instrument too. That said if you really enjoy listening to violin maybe you should consider taking some lessons and learn to play. Regards, Edmund
brought a tear to my eye
@rikyyyable Thank you for listening and commenting. The violin is an Erich Sander made in Mittenwald, Germany 1973. Cost of violin new in 1973 was $1500.00. If one wanted to purchase an equivalent violin today used or new cost would be in the 2,000 to 10,000 range. My dad purchased the instrument when my family and I traveled there in 1974. Bow is a Herbert Wanka made in 1978, the strings are Thomastik Visions, medium gauge and the rosin is Pirastro Goldflex. Regards, Edmund
