{"product_id":"fur-elise","title":"Fur Elise","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA colorful version of Beethoven’s most popular compositions, Fur Elise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMeaning “for Elise” in German, Beethoven’s “Für Elise” has become a standard for piano and music enthusiasts all over. However, this bagatelle, a short, lighthearted, and generally frivolous piece of music, seemed to not mean that much to Beethoven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eComposed on April 27th, 1810, he never published this piece. Instead, it sat in a drawer until 1822, when Beethoven revised it slightly, and shoved it back into the same drawer. In 1827, Beethoven died, and his bagatelle never saw the light of day. It was only in 1867, 40 years after Beethoven’s death, that a musicologist named Ludwig Nohl found the composition and published it.

We’ll focus on the central theme in the key of A Minor. Previous Prodigies releases of this have been in the time signature of 3\/4 versus this version in 6\/8. While it’s the same number of 8th notes, how we interpret the beat and where we place our accents is quite different. You’ll see 8th notes in groups of 3 and the beat is represented by the dotted quarter note.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classical","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38078364778648,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/1021\/3528\/products\/FurElise2.jpg?v=1612369383","url":"https:\/\/prodigies.com\/products\/fur-elise","provider":"Prodigies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
