  • How cute that you refer to this as a bagatelle since no one does. It is a little bagatelle, now isn't it? Never even thought of that. You are always full of surprises, Mr. Erez. And you play this absolutely brilliantly. You are an ingenious classical Artist.

  • @December10th2010 The original autographed manuscript was dated 27 April 1810. Unfortunately, this manuscript has been lost. For Elise is known commonly as a Bagatelle, although it follows a Rondo form. Personally, I believe Ludwig wrote it for Therese Malfatti (whom he proposed to), and never classified it. Later scholars who transcribed and published the music named it and classified it.

  • I am curious as to the tempo choice, Mr. Erez. What was the motivation behind it? Reason why I ask is because of what your reply was to a commenter on your rendition of Beethoven's Op. 27 no. 2 movt. 3.

  • @teakbridge101 The piece is marked Poco moto (with movement) but there is great debate as to Beethoven's intentions and original manuscript (which is lost). There is no tempo change marked for the other two sections of this Bagatelle. In my opinion, when you consider the overall tempo and apply it to the sections other than the main theme, it makes sense. Otherwise, they would sound very fast and rushed. For Elise was transcribed by Ludwig Nohl, and later versions were marked Molto Grazioso.

  • simply beautiful

  • I like the tempo ot this piece; can hear every note and as such, can be enjoyed to its fullest...diana

  • Very, very beautiful...

    Everyone plays this waaaay too fast. This is so soft and delicate like Beethoven intended.

    You are definitely a master pianist...

  • Perfect until the last note - this one deserves a little hold :) but great overall the atmosphere was very good

  • @PestVic cool! XD I began to really love clasical music three years ago and I don´t care if others say it´s for older people, clasical music is diferent and beautiful... I don´t think other kind of music can make me feel like the classical pieces like this one
