Chords for Beethoven "Für Elise" - Technique & Interpretation

_ [Em] _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The fingering of [E] the theme is not [Am] too easy to play [E] because the E [Am] and D sharp should be [E] played with the [Am] weaker part of the hip.
Playing the theme, [E] listen to the [C] continuous line and play actively [G] with both [Am] thumbs as [Em] if it were played with one hand.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ I do mark [E] the bass notes [Fm] according to the harmony.
[D] The [A] subdominant and dominant [E] should be played tenute.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] More. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
Or [Am] a bit less.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
As usual, we take a new pedal on each new harmony.
Here without pedal, of course.
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _
Pedal [Am] on the first 16th _ and I release with the last [E] one. _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ Here [D] without.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ Here I release.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[N] In the lowercase section B, I emphasize the upper voice of the right hand.
The climax is in measure 13, which should be reached with a slight crescendo. _ _
_ Concerning the F major phrase, we play again four measures singing with the right hand
and marking the first notes of the bass by using finger pedal on the first notes of the 16th _ [F] accompaniment. _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ [G] _ _ [E] _
_ [Em] _ _ In measure 32, we have to first [Cm] _ stabilize the hand for the double notes.
_ _ A little exercise here.
_ _ I go up and down _ to the side.
And I practice that with each [G] interval. _ _ _
Up, down to the side. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Up [Em] and down to both sides.
_ And then _ this tremolo I have to play with a kind of rotation _ of my wrist and [A] forearm. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ I play also with the finger, but I help with my [A] arm, with my forearm.
[G] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
First we again practice each interval [G] like that. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [G]
Using also the finger.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ In the 30 seconds we have to play [Db] with a slight movement to the side. _ _ _ _
And now [A] I descend.
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ Again the [G] rotation. _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[A] In the section _ C, which seems to be a kind of coda,
we have to sing this simple, _ _ _ renunciative melody with strong fourth and fifth fingers,
_ playing less loudly the middle voices,
and marking the important bass notes with _ slight [Dm] pressure in the [D] _ [A] chromatic steps.
And [Am] marking the dominant [E] pressure, [A] 66. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] In _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ [Am] _ this difficult [E] section in part C, I have chosen a fingering for the 6-4 chord.
[Am] So we change _ three times the position.
[Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [A] And then _
[C] I [Em] help with my thumb to move my hand _ _ [A] upwards. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Em] And here I am [Am] always behind the [N] playing finger with my arm. _ _ _
Be careful with the fingering _ _ _ in this passage.
_ [C] _ _
[Am] So once again.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
