Many people can play this song but very few people can understand this song and bring to life what Beethoven envisioned when he composed this master piece.
I apologize on the Koreans behalf. I too am a Korean, and I must admit, we are very frugal creatures. If we paid money for a performance, we want the duration to exceed what we paid.
And I apologize for the laugh at the start. Every Korean played some sort of piano in their youth, and Fur Elise is a commonly played piece in every music school.

@PLCGirl101 i think that was , because the other songs she played, were extrem hard and difficult . For examplel Rachmaninoff Prelude in g minor op 23 #5 or Paganini - Liszt La Campanella .
@PLCGirl101 they were expecting something sound and fast, like she would show off her skills... like moonlight sonata 3rd movement ;P Instead she played fur elise even slower than normal.
@PLCGirl101 THIS IS WHY THEY LAUGHED: From what my professor told me, she came out to do an encore ... she was suppose to do some complicated piece, but she chose this. The audience was just laughing at that. hope I kinda explained it....

C'est d'une magnifisance inégalée, c'est dingue cette manière de toucher les touche c'est vraiment la perfection et très sentimentale, on ressent bien le caractère de la chanson que Beethowen à voulu exprimer! bravo :')
Musicality and artistry is often more demonstrated when playing easy pieces rather than with technically demanding ones which often just focuses on skill and accuracy rather than on the beauty of the composition. Bravo Valentina!!!
@yoyoandbow Because its quite an easy song that nearly everyone who knows the basics of piano can play. No one expected it to be played by someone as good as her.
I first came across this melody played on the web by Letitsa some years back, before she became so well known. Back then all I could hear was the music only as had no picture to see, so all I could admire was her beutifull playing. I'll try to make it to Albert Hall...
@himeismsama I suspect they laughed because it's a ridiculously over-played piece. A cliché. I, however, think she did a magnificent job expressing the feelings behind the piece. Well done.
It's easy, but it's also the most beautiful piece I've ever heard and I love it the most. And, well, I'd like to see the crowd trying to play For Elise. Then I would be more than delighted to watch and, probably, laugh.
@mohtaa There is no such thing as an "easy" piece if it is played well. The most beautiful music is sometimes a simple melody. The music must be brought to life by the artist and that is where the talent lies. The genius is always the composer brought to life by the talented artist.
in my opinion, she truly captures the deep emotions of love and lust that beethoven introduced to this piece, not many could do the same, many cannot even have such mastery techniqque for such a simple piece. and yet again, valentina managed to do it all
booooring everyone has heard this a million times before in countless remix, 8bit, guitar whatever, tbh its a good piece ofc, but i cant really listen to this in all seriousness without being bored, is it really just me?
@Spasterix Body language doesn't matter in music... She does not control her body language because she is so concentrated on what she is playing. Who cares about body language if the result of it is such a beautiful interpretation? She is one of the best musicians that ever lived. Thank you Valentina!
I did forget how beautifull music can be. Last years I only listen to other music like Evanescencs, Skillet, and so on, and came here by exident, but listen all night to your music. I wondered how easy it is to get some rest in my life, this gave me that. Beautifull is an understatement and it isn't enough to tell you how I realy enjoyed listen to your music. Thank you for gaving me that feeling I had once back.
technisch toll (siehe rachmaninoff, chopin), mir fehlt bei den überleitungen (ausser nach der chromatischen tonleiter) das "anzeigen" des "wiederbeginns" grundmelodie, musikalisch liegt bei ihr sicher noch was drin, aber das kommt "mit den jahren" ;-)
@TheHyenaKing I don't think we CAN'T compose such beautiful, "easy" melody. We can, but the world wont apreciate anymore this kind. This is classic, perfect, but if nowadays somebody compose such beautiful melodys being news nobody like them.
untrue,with all due respect listen to my composition..I was inspired by mozart's Amadeus death scene...The passing by Clayton Jackson..pls have a listen,beauty is hidden these days !! You must seek the light.
@TheHyenaKing there are people who make such music... but the listeners are fewer than before, so many either go along with the trend or don't get much publicity and are "drowned" in the sea of so many others. Bethoven, Mozart and so on were unique in their time, so they got "all the publicity"...
The other day, I heard this amazing music: to build a home, by cinematic orchestra... it is beautiful :)
Hmm yeah okay yeah, after a consuming and confusing on/off relationship with this enchanted piece, I consider with tremendous authority it to be the greatest song ever written....by humans. CASE CLOSED.
Well, it's a challenge to play simple stuff with soul. In my thirty years of playing the Formica buffet table (pedal steel guitar), my proudest moment was making three people in the audience cry with 8 bars of Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.
It is also my aim to transcribe this piece to the pedal steel. I hope I do it nearly as soulful as she
This lady is AMAZING... incredible.... I am completely mesmerized....,,,so want to go to the Albert Hall to see her play..what do I do to get tickets?? Jules
impeccable execution. But sadly it's all too sweet low notes from beginning to end "Fur Elise" contains passages of sweetness, passion, anguish and despair, which are missing in this interpretation. It is technically flawless, but the soul of Beethoven's "Für Elise" there isn't in this interpretation.This is just my opinion.
People who don't study playing the piano plays all the time the beginning of this. And it sounds awful. But she made it sound so beautiful that I found myself stopping breathing at moments.
LOVE how she plays this! It's a simple piece, but she really brings such emotion to her music! And she doesn't speed through it like so many others who compromise exactly what she brought to Fur Elise--so beautiful! Not that I mind speed, it's not exactly that she is lacking in it, either.
no matter what she plays, she is wonderful. she is THE pianist of our time. i love every performance i have seen her do. i just wish i could be that good.
@41omer41 because Fur Elise is such popular and easy song. Since she is known to be a great pianist, people thought she was just joking around for the first song
@41omer41 Because, all people without exception know this composition even if they don`t know its name or its composer. They are well-surprised, finding out they are to listen this piece.
@41omer41 weil es als pianist/in absolut unüblich ist, als zugabe ein technisch dermassen einfaches stück zu spielen- der überraschungseffekt ist ihr jedenfalls gelungen ;-)
@korrepi don´t think so... easy pieces are not that uncommon in encores. But Für Elise, especially the few beginning notes, is just too famous a piece to be listened to without prejudice. It thus works as it´s own citation, having a funny connotation in a classical concert´s serious environment.
Вы играете гениально,мы очень любим вас,и всегда слушаем с большим удовольствием.Спосибо ,что вы ест и за то что вы дарите людьям самое прекрасное - музыку- со вкусом.МНОГО-МНОГО успехов и достижений.
why did they laugh when she started playing it? they must be really stupid cause to pay that much money to come she her play one of the greatest songs ever composed and then laugh??!! that is fucked up. i would do ANYTHING to go to a performance and to hear my favorite song played breathtakingly beautiful.
@musicismylife0122 It was her 4th encore. Just hear how the crowd sounds, see her little shoulder lift ("okay, whatever, I play one more") and how the crowd reacted to that.
Then she sits down, the crowd expects something virtuoso as always, expecting to go out with a bang, and then she starts playing Fur Elise.
They laughed, but it was not to ridicule her, it was just so unexpected. Don't mock them, it was a little laugh of joy.
@musicismylife0122 Per Elisa is very simple a composition , if you consider - for instance - "la campanella" that she also played. The crowd was not making fun of her, I believe it was her intention to cause a general laugh because the piece is very easy to play, considering her level. In fact, in the field of classical music, Per Elisa is considered to be one of the weakest pieces by Mozart. Maybe she was just too exhausted to play something as difficult as La Campanella. : )
@mrkarma85 A: You're right, they weren't making fun of her. It wasn't really a joke, but it was generally amusing that she would pick that, but that was only the initial reaction.
B: It's a Bagatelle. It's not meant to be a particularly challenging piece, it's just an extra. However, it's not considered a weak piece, it's a rather strong piece and one of the most famous and recognisable pieces in history. I wouldn't call that weak.
@fissionesque of course it's Beethoven, that was a lapsus.
What I mean with "weak" is not something like "worthless" or totally negative, just technically weak, I too like Fur Elise , though of course the fact that it is one of the most famous and recognisable pieces in history should not really be considered as a parameter.
Valentina seems excited about the London gig. Will somebody tell her that she's bigger than Royal Albert hall. She'll wipe the floor with those British stuffed shirts!
It is always a very touching experience flipping through the pages of my your piano books and playing your simple childhood songs again. The beauty lies in the simplicity, without any ostentatious virtuoso techniques that competitive pianists nowadays get lost into to cover away the pure emotions deep down.
She is wonderful!! This peace is foten played but not many times understood!

@41omer41 because Fur Elise is such popular and easy song. Since she is known to be a great pianist, people thought she was just joking around for the first song

@41omer41 Because, all people without exception know this composition even if they don`t know its name or its composer. They are well-surprised, finding out they are to listen this piece.

@41omer41 look at the stick behind her at 0:23. then u know why they laughed ;)

@41omer41 weil es als pianist/in absolut unüblich ist, als zugabe ein technisch dermassen einfaches stück zu spielen- der überraschungseffekt ist ihr jedenfalls gelungen ;-)

@korrepi don´t think so... easy pieces are not that uncommon in encores. But Für Elise, especially the few beginning notes, is just too famous a piece to be listened to without prejudice. It thus works as it´s own citation, having a funny connotation in a classical concert´s serious environment.

@musicismylife0122 you're surprised pretentious douchebags go to shows like this?
petervuu718 1 month ago
@musicismylife0122 It was her 4th encore. Just hear how the crowd sounds, see her little shoulder lift ("okay, whatever, I play one more") and how the crowd reacted to that.
Then she sits down, the crowd expects something virtuoso as always, expecting to go out with a bang, and then she starts playing Fur Elise.
They laughed, but it was not to ridicule her, it was just so unexpected. Don't mock them, it was a little laugh of joy.

@iMarklar agree! The crowd sounds like that! Obviously they like her!!!

@musicismylife0122 Per Elisa is very simple a composition , if you consider - for instance - "la campanella" that she also played. The crowd was not making fun of her, I believe it was her intention to cause a general laugh because the piece is very easy to play, considering her level. In fact, in the field of classical music, Per Elisa is considered to be one of the weakest pieces by Mozart. Maybe she was just too exhausted to play something as difficult as La Campanella. : )

@mrkarma85 A: You're right, they weren't making fun of her. It wasn't really a joke, but it was generally amusing that she would pick that, but that was only the initial reaction.
B: It's a Bagatelle. It's not meant to be a particularly challenging piece, it's just an extra. However, it's not considered a weak piece, it's a rather strong piece and one of the most famous and recognisable pieces in history. I wouldn't call that weak.
C. Beethoven, not Mozart.

@fissionesque of course it's Beethoven, that was a lapsus.
What I mean with "weak" is not something like "worthless" or totally negative, just technically weak, I too like Fur Elise , though of course the fact that it is one of the most famous and recognisable pieces in history should not really be considered as a parameter.

It is always a very touching experience flipping through the pages of my your piano books and playing your simple childhood songs again. The beauty lies in the simplicity, without any ostentatious virtuoso techniques that competitive pianists nowadays get lost into to cover away the pure emotions deep down.
