Playing Fur Elise with Passion

A note from DJ... (click *more info* to read)

I think Fur Elise was meant to be played something like this. I'm no expert at piano, but from the 3 weeks of piano lessons that I have taken in my life, I was taught to play songs, including this one specifically, in a way that wasn't uniform or constant.

When you play piano music, interpret it as your own. Make it flow. Whats the difference you hear between this version and some others you may have heard? Is it hard to pick out?

The difference is how I vary the speed, and the velocity of the notes. In other words how fast or slow I play throughout the song, and how loud or soft I play .. which both change as I play. If you do this with songs, it makes it sound much more interesting. It's also a great way to catch up in difficult spots. Just slow down, and keep going.

Hope that helps :) Thanks for everyone's unbelievable comments. I really appreciate it!

@halowwenX49 it's supposed to be slow and serene, but his random pauses in tempo in an attempt to seem "passionate", just ruin it (for me at least). watch Valentina Lisitsa's performance of this, i think it was spot-on.
