    You are meant to feel classical music. In your body and in your brain.Try going to a symphony concert. You can feel the music in your body without the use of a single speaker.
    There's a big reason why these classics have been around for hundreds of years. They speak to us.
    Ever notice the old cartoons like looney tunes, and even older, stuff that was made in 20's and 30's up to modern times played classical music?
    I dont remember names, but these are facts: movie studio producer in charge loved classical music. Felt it a shame that regular folk couldn't afford to go to symphony concerts, and were missing out on hearing beautiful music. So he mandated that background music be from the classics. Almost every note you hear in those cartoons is classical music from all sorts of great composers.

      I guarantee you there are a LOT of people whose classical music knowledge began strictly from the looney toons cartoons. To the point that while I still enjoy the pieces on their own and for what they are, I can't help but associate some sections with some very vivid memories of specific scenes from said cartoons.

    I actually learned how to play this on piano when I was in high school. It took me about three years to get to where I could play the whole thing by memory. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed. My fingers are so gnarly now (it's been almost 40 years) I don't think I would ever be able to play it again, even with the sheet music. But it was still a nice trip down memory lane hearing it again! The visual impressions you're getting in your head about the music is exactly what the master composers like Beethoven wanted from their audiences. This type of instrumental music was meant to be interpreted differently by each listener.

      Actually the titel is "Für Elise" with "ü"...and if you don´t have the letter "ü" on your keyboard then you have to write "ue" instead = "Fuer Elise"
      The word "Fur" does not exist at all in the german language...just saying.
      I know most "non Germans" don´t have a clue about the concept of "ü, ä, ö" which can be replaced by "ue, ae, oe"...but just using "u, a, o" instead is essentially wrong because those letters are totally different pronounced than ü, ä, ö...and using those pure vowels "u, a, o" for the diphthong vowels "ü, ä, ö" could give the word under certain circumstances even a total other meaning as well

    When you're not used to classical music, it confuses you a bit, but the more you listen, the more you like it and begin understand it. Beethoven is kind of hard-core classical, it's best to start with something like Strauss, or Mozart, Mozart's piano concerto number 21. Is a nice calm piece.

      Yeah, I mean anything by Strauss is usually light hearted. Lots of people know composers by name, so I'm just used to saying it that way. I f I must specify, then The blue Danube waltz or Radetsky march.

      Hi Noel Dempsey, I have to disagree with you. Listening to the simple music Mozart composed can in some cases put people of listening to more classical music. The music he composed is (to be polite) rather different to music from the likes of Beethoven, Mahler, etc. Your advice CAN be true and helpful for some people but definitely not for all... If I had started out with the likes of Mozart and Vivaldi, I would probably had given up and stopped listening to classical... I am glad that I started with what you call the "hard-core classical" :)

    • @Nen783
      @Nen783 3 года назад

      Usually when I play something like Beethoven 's 5th, and pieces like that, people usually say '' That's scary turn it off'' but with something more mellow, they seem to like it. So really I'm just talking about my experience with it. I love All classical music, especially the dark ones, but people are very stuck in a rut when it comes to music.

I didn't want to start a lengthy discussion... just glad that there still are people listening to the composers of the past.

    It is a great pleasure to see you, so many miles away, so many decades away, enjoy the music of this compositor - who had a hard life. Worst thing imaginable happened to him. He became deaf slowly and agonizingliy. I would love to see Beethoven see someone a continent away enjoy his music in 21. century.

He knew music so well, he could still write the score for every instrument in the symphony orchestra though unable to hear! From God's hands to Beethoven's heart. Amazing talent.

    Brings me back to playing this when I was very young. I haven’t played in years, but this was a favorite to play. My favorite composer was/is JS Bach. The two- and three-part inventions played by Glenn Gould are fantastic (and they’re relatively short to react to). Another Bach masterpiece is the “Double” Violin Concerto, Concerto for Two Violins in D minor performed by Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern. It’s in three movements, but all three are superb. 💜💜💜
