What are the keys for fur elise.?

Question

I know it starts off bgbgb but I don't know the rest

Answer 1

It doesn't even start off on B. The piece begins and ends in A minor (not F major). The F major (with a few bars in C major) section is in the "middle" of the piece.

Answer 2

Fur Elise Key

Answer 3

Oh, I get it: the g's in your question are flats!
It starts our B bB B bB B if you transpose it to E minor.
The next three notes will be bG A G E.
Beethoven wrote it in A minor, but it's all right if you play it in E minor.

I'm not sure I understand your question.
If you're asking "What are the opening notes?" then genevleve and chris are right.
The first nine notes will be E bE B bE E B D C A.

If you're asking "What key is it written in?" then museofsatie is right.

I teach English as a second language in Korea. That piece has been very useful for me. Some of my students can play the first 9 notes of "Fur Elise" on the piano.

When we study prepositions, I read "Bears in the Night" by Stan and Jan Berenstain.
I have one student play the first 9 notes of "Fur Elise" while we sing "Let's all take a nice trip down the tree" and "Let's all take a nice trip through the woods."

Answer 4

There's a lot of notes.If you're playing piano, it's a 3 page song. Other instruments are probably less but still it's a big song. And just to clarify all the previous answers it depends which notes you start off playing. It would be different in piano, guitar, flute, and clarinet. They're all different, and also if you're playing in C major, or G major that also makes a difference. So if you give more explanation on what you would like (instrument, key) it would be a lot of help. Also it would be awhole bunch easier if you just went out and bought the music. Not to be mean or anything, but it'll sound better because well it just will. Trust me.

Answer 5

If you're not interested in sheet music, buy one of those electronic keyboards that have the red lights. Most of them teach you how to play Fur Elise and they include the sheet music so there.

Answer 6

Ooh you're one of THOSE...
lol
I see people all the time that pound out that song with one finger guessing at the notes and starting over when they mess up and it bugs the hell out of me.
Go get the sheet music somewhere so you can stop pestering the people who don't want to hear you. =)
That was kind of mean, but it really does bug me.
its in a-minor and it starts on E in the right hand and with the 9th note there is an A in the left hand followed be E then A (if I'm visualizing this right)

Answer 7

It's in A minor and it doesn't change keys rather it changes scales, and I don't play piano so I'm not entirely sure what scales are used, but I would guess the natural minor and phyrigian, but that's what it sounds like I have never played it.

Answer 8

it depends what instrument you are playing. and i'd give yuo the notes, but i lost that piece of music. sarch off of google for fur elise sheet music because i'm not sure if you don't have the music or don't know how to read it

Answer 9

Für Elise is the Bagatelle in A minor (WoO 59). Therefore, it is in A MINOR.
