Für Elise in the Style of Franz Liszt! 🎹

[Shazz_]

If you thought Für Elise wasn’t as hard as most classical pieces, I’ve managed to arrange it in the composing style of Liszt, and not Beethoven - Liszt is known to be extremely intricate and complex throughout his pieces, and thus inspired me to arrange an original transcription that I’d think would fit his repertoire.

This took me about a week - tell me what you think ^^

THIS IS YOUR PLAYING??

Purrito It’s my original arranging, but the visuals you are seeing are from a MIDI file that took me some time to put together.
It’s possible to play though :)
Sometime I should post a recording(s) of me playing Liszt’s Un Sospiro, very similar to the end of this video where the wavy patterns take place. My piano is really out of tune though, haha!

[Purrito]

Shazz_ How do you do this :o ?

[Shazz_]

Purrito 1:42 - 2:00 is especially very beautiful to play - Un Sospiro is exactly like that :)
I’ll DM you the Synthesia for that one.
I use an app called Piano VFX. There are several patterns for each individual note, and not just the one I always use - I’ll show you all of them in a second ^^

I can play the beginning of Für Elise, I learned back when I played piano. I kinda wanna go back tbh

[Shazz_]

Cursed Cucumber I highly encourage you to ^v^
Almost everyone says that Für Elise is the most overplayed piano piece, but that’s what makes it so profound, is the fact that it’s a masterpiece everyone comes to gain familiarity with! Potential for rearranging and twisting it’s melody is a reality, and that’s what brought me to the piece, personally.
But anyways, that would be awesome if you’d go back to playing piano, especially playing that piece :)

Shazz_ It’s just so expensive

[Shazz_]

Cursed Cucumber Expensive, as in getting a piano?

[Cursed Cucumber]

Shazz_ lessons, piano, everything

[Shazz_]

Cursed Cucumber That’s true, yeah.
I took 2 years of lessons but I ended up being self taught. Learning the fingerings and chords are vital, to say the least.
If there’d be anyway, getting a piano and such, I’d love to teach you everything :)

[Cursed Cucumber]

Shazz_ it’ll be awhile until I could afford one, if I get one I’ll let you know though

[Shazz_]

Cursed Cucumber Awesome :)
