Für Elise but Elise copied her friend's homework - Day 25 | 30-Day Composition Challenge

- Fur Elise but looks like Elise is running late for her homework assignment and cheated by copying some very familiar classical themes from certain composers. I've put all the references in the description, but see if you can guess them all without looking!
This was written for Day 25 of Ryan Leach's "2022 Theme of the Day Challenge" where I'll compose one piece per day for the entirety of June. The prompt for June 25th was "Cheater". I thought of doing a "intertextual mashup" parody of already established (public domain) classical music. Sort of like how Luciano Berio's Sinfonia 3rd movement uses Mahler 2's Scherzo as the basis and piles a bunch of quotations on it. The idea of using Fur Elise as the basis for the work came from my youtube recommended feed occasionally giving me videos like "Fur Elise but Elise said no" from Mingchi or "Jingle Bells except it's terrible and made me fail music theory" from Parker Meek. Anyways, for this one I started with Fur Elise, then branched out with different Beethoven quotations. As I modulated into C# Minor territory in Moonlight my mind instantly thought of Fantasie Impromptu, and then it derailed into Clair de Lune and kept going on and on until Liszt comes in bringing the entire house down with a mammoth of Totentanz and the B Minor Sonata. Surprisingly, I'd say it was harder to get two themes to blend together, though when it finally did it was hilarous.
Although full disclosure that for the 30-Day June Composition challenge, I wrote around 1:30 mins of Fur Elise blending with Waldstein and Moonlight Sonata before I ran out of time, hastily writing an ending. However, earlier today as I was preparing to upload this I thought I'd extend this piece even though the challenge is over as it's pretty hilarious. I guess you could say I... cheated a bit.
0:00 Für Elise Theme - Beethoven. The basis for the entire composition. I initially imagined Elise starting her homework 5 mins before class.
0:09 Symphony 5 - Beethoven. I thought it would be funny to "shock" Elise with that BA BA BA BAM realization that the homework is due rather soon. Had to change the melody a tiny bit to fit the harmony (0:13)
0:18 Waldstein Sonata - Beethoven. The part where Fur Elise briefly touches upon C major instantly made me think of Waldstein (in C Major as well), and surprisingly superimposing both themes worked relatively well. I had to remove a few notes in the right hand in order to make it playable for a pianist.
0:34 Für Elise in Ab Minor. That trill-like gesture in Waldstein was able to nicely transition into the beginning of Fur Elise thanks to both of them sharing the semitone interval.
0:38 Symphony 5 - Beethoven.
0:41 Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
0:43 Fur Elise mixed within Moonlight Sonata
0:55 Fur Elise hidden in the chords of Moonlight Sonata, with changing meter
1:07 The Lick in Octaves
1:10 The Lick in Sixths
1:13 Syncopated Fur Elise Motif hidden in sixteenth notes
1:16 G# pivots Moonlight Sonata into Fantasie Impromptu - Chopin
1:21 Fur Elise Motif mixed with Fantasie Impromptu
1:33 Fur Elise Motif in inner voice
1:41 Fur Elise Motif in syncopated upper voice
1:46 Full statement of Fur Elise Motif
1:51 Pivot of G# /Ab common tone into Clair de Lune - Debussy
2:02 Fur Elise motif repeated twice Clair de Lune
2:10 Pivot into Sonetto 104 del Petrarca - Liszt. Clair de Lune's left hand accompaniment is maintained as to not disturb the pulse.
2:23 Revolutionary Etude Op. 10 no. 12 - Chopin
2:30 The Lick in C minor
2:31 Ocean Etude Op. 25 no. 12 - Chopin
2:41 Fur Elise (Middle Section Theme) on top of Chopin Revolutionary Etude Accompaniment
2:54 Ballade no. 1 in G Minor - Chopin. Fur Elise motif is hidden in LH middle voice, then later in octaves for LH.
3:07 Fur Elise motif in RH, followed by syncopated version in LH Octaves
3:25 Happy Birthday in LH while RH is Chopin Ballade
3:30 Flight of the Bumblebee - Rimsky Korsakov
3:35 Totentanz - Liszt. The fugato variation is slightly modified in a way that the subject is no longer Dies Irae, but Fur Elise (as they both have a repeated minor second, both themes are easier to mix)
4:04 Violin Partita No. 3 - Bach.
4:07 Rondo Capriccoso - Mendelssohn.
4:10 Megalovania - Toby Fox (I just had to do it)
4:13 Two to Tango - Nicholas Ma (I did a bit of self quotation from one of my previous compositions I wrote on this 30-Day composition challenge)
4:16 Double statement of Fur Elise - Augmentation of the theme in the left hand, while right hand plays a dotted note rhythmic variation of Fur Elise.
4:35 Sonata in B Minor - Liszt. The Sonata's climax is played with the left hand, while the right hand plays the Fur Elise theme in full phrase, not just the head motif. Slight change in intervals but contour is the same due to it being in major key.
4:53 Fur Elise Middle Section theme is played over the Liszt Sonata in B Minor. I changed the time signatures a bit to make it more lyrical and Liszt-like. Eg. at 5:05.

No wonder Beethoven fell in love. Elise was such a smart, well-rounded person with lots of international friends from different periods of time.
Elise didn't copy her friend's homework. She copied her FRIENDS' homework.
She got an entire army of musical friends
From different country and some ain’t even from her time lol
@@kiwiworldbykiwi An average day on Multiverse High School - With Time Travel.
@@danielawesome36 lol
should be friends ‘ homework (plural possessive)
The moonlight sonata actually unironically sounded very good.
Thanks! It was wild seeing fur elise somehow blend with moonlight sonata haha
@@NicholasMaMusic well they were by the same composer
@@glitchinthesystem1537 that’s got little to do with it. They’re probably in the same key
@@Ocelot_Growl it wasn’t in the same keys, but it’s transposed in this transcript anyway. But the style is the same.
@@hipwardx oh yeah that’s what I meant. Transposed
I like how I can hear the melody of fur elise in the middle of every single piano classic music that ive heard
Glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
It’s „Für Elise“ not „Fur Elise“
There no fur
Bro wants perfection lmao
@@xuxin7043 I will say it however I want
@@video_camera yeah ok whatever
Elise: Can I copy your homework?
The entire class: Sure, but change it up a bit so it sounds like it's yours.
Elise: Thank you so much! 😘
I don't know what's better
Elise's friends, or Elise's ability to copy and mix everyone else's homework to make hers
I love how Elise has friends from different country and time period and she has the ability to time travel and teleport to copy all of their works lmfao
Everyone needs to learn from Elise😂
when you have no clue what happened in the russian revolution so you casually skip back a century to ask stalin what the fuck was going on 😎😎
It's how she manages to do the Ling Ling 48 hours a day practice.
gigachad elise
She should b the main character of this anime
🤣
Lol we can all imagine the aftermath their poor teacher had to deal with
The teacher is in Spain but the S is silent
Teacher would be in Japan without the J
The fact that no one pointed out Megalovania in the piece blows my mind.
Or The Lick? It's also in the Happy Birthday medley- 3 times! The first time I watched, I didn't realize that interval pattern any of the times. The second: first time: "Oh, that's what he meant!" Second time [now that I knew what to look/listen for; I actually zoomed in on the sheet music!]: "Huh, it's there again!" Third: "Again??" *thinks of Adam Neely because it's the Lick* "Repetition legitimizes."
The timestamps do.
I’m more surprised not to see Debussy and Rimsky-Korsakov.
Though I guess they’re here somewhere.
I couldn’t hear megalovania the first time listening without looking at time stamps, I’m going to have to listen again I can’t believe I missed it!
@@kevinbush4300 Debussy is at 1:51 and Rimsky-Korsakov at 3:30
That was a wild ride, but... I kinda liked it, lol.
There are several dead composers either laughing their decomposing asses off or spinning in their graves.
Why not both?
prob both
decomposing? i think we’re past that point
@@Clrula excuse me, what does your nick mean? 40 and what?
And a very alive Toby Fox applauding
Rumour is that the teacher, faced with such a talented class, including Elise, who is very talented at plagiarizing her classmates, she gave them all detention.
This legit gave me goosebumps and I'm not embarrassed
Wow this comment made my day, thank you!
I love the casual hidden lick rolls in this
I unironically find this very enjoyable to listen to. The talent and creativity on display, even just to conceptualize this piece, is remarkable, and you should be very proud of the final product.
Thank you for your praise! It was pretty satisfying seeing everything somehow fall into place haha
This is the funniest classic music video I ever watched. This deserve a million views.
Thank you!
The fantasie impromtu is actually really good
Fun aside, this *paraphrase* does sounds very well crafted.
Finally some memes that are made by creative people
I love every single bit of it, this is perfect
Ya not like mine
This is called Talent. Do you know how hard it is to play something like this? Bravo!!!
Glad you appreciate this video! Though just to clarify this is playback from my composition software, I wish I could play the entire thing through with this speed and completely zero wrong notes haha
@@NicholasMaMusic so is this do-able?
@@ikarikid In theory. It's just fiendishly difficult, would take a pro a few months if I were to guess.
@@MarcelJ. if you're really good you can probably do it in a few weeks or even days
@@notmusictheory74 Maybe weeks, but I doubt it's possible in days unless you practice to the point of not doing anything else.
I wish Beethoven had lived to hear this. Oh, wait… NOOO. 😭
NO 😭😭
No worries, he sees the piece and the entire song is generated in his mind immediately
I've watched a bunch of these videos now, and I think this is my absolute favourite! More than any other, it actually incorporates its theme into all the other themes it uses, rather than just being a pastiche of unrelated tunes. Marvelous work!
I'm at a loss for words. This is brilliant -- and hysterically funny.
This seems like what would play if in the renaissance, the musicians made weaponized pianos
4:07 didnt expect someone to actually know this piece
I played it when I was younger, it's a great piece!
What piece is this?
@@apostolismoschopoulos1876 Mendelssohn - Rondo Capriccioso Op. 14 (quoted from the 6/8 presto section)
3:25 FINALLY SOMEONE HEARS THE HAPPY BIRTHDAY THEME IN THE LEFT HAND OF BALLADE 1
Finally...I can listen to ALL of my favorites in 6 minutes. Makes for quick meditation!
This is a once in a lifetime music. Thank you for making this. Atleast make a title for this piece.
Some random chick: *cheats on her test*
Bach: You could make a fugue out of this.
Watching your videos recently and the Classical Music Mashups has sort of brought back and reminded me of my love for classical music from when I was a child and was taking piano lessons. Back then I went to a music school after regular primary school, and then private lessons as well. I probably spent at least 1 to 2 hours a day on average studying and practicing music. It was great. Also, I'm in awe at your creativity to put all of this together. It's really fucking neat 👌🏻👌🏻 so thank you on both accounts 🤗
I would listen to this tbh. It's pretty cool even if it's a joke.
Hello. Very cool and great challenge! I did one as well in October this year. Writing a entire cantata in one week, like Bach did many times. And yes you're right as you said in your 1st video of your challenge that you have to concentrate more in getting things done than you do normally. But it's quite healthy, because you can see that actually you can do much more as you might thought. Greetings from Spain Michael
Thank you, writing a cantata like you did seems fun too! It was certainly a challenge doing 30 compositions in a month, but a great learning experience overall!
When you copy all of your friends homework and turn yours into an unique masterpiece
Oh my goodness. Goodness gracious. this is incredible. I'm in tears.
You title this like it's a meme, but it's actually very beautiful!
I normally hate these types of videos but this is actually really really well done.
This is freaking incredible! Many of these sound even better than the original. Very well done!
Very very clever...and musical too !!!! Bravo !!!
The bit at 1:34 is astoundingly beautiful honestly
A great lesson of harmony, composing skills and piano technique. Congratulations for your work and thanks for sharing!
Wow, this is excellent!
I am so amazed by this!
I would love to able to compose such things one day!
This is INCREDIBLE, I’m so happy my friend sent this to me!
Wow Elise had such incredible friends 😳
I just got in YT and clicked this with half opened eys in the Morning and eyes've forgot how to blink again
Oh my good your work is astounding!
i genuinely would add this to my classical music playlist! this sounds so cool!!!
WOW! Blew my mind. That was awesome - thx! Recognized ~ 3/4 of the pieces, Fur did a great job ; )
full version of the moonlight sonata please, it sounded so banger!!
Very beautiful arrangement! I love it!!
Thank for having such a meticulous description! It was neat to be able to trace every quotation
this is a ton of fun! I love it, well done indeed
This is actually pretty impressive.
This was like my whole piano lesson repertoire from high school played simultaneously. Brilliant!
I laughed so hard throughout this whole thing. That was incredible :)
Elise copied everyone’s homework, INCLUDING BEETHOVEN’S
All the piano assignments coming back to haunt me!! 🤩🤩
What a nightmare for the teacher to look through. At least it would be easy to figure out who cheated by copying their homework. After all Elsie seems to have copied from the entire classroom.
sounds so good, very relaxing oh wow
made my day better :)
Yus
Need moar vids of classic musicians fighting over trivial things like holiday food and decorations.
What i love the most is how you composed the piece from "cheater", and you provide für Elise such an interesting story hahaha love it!
This is joyfully demented! I love it!
So good ! Great job
Masterpiece. Love it!
Thanks for bringing me back to the times strolling outside the piano classrooms in the conservatory! Finally I wasn't too sure, though, where I had ended up... Why try to deny it: this is brilliant! Charles Ives, eat your heart out!
Definitely one of your best!
wicked skill, laughed my butt off, you're my new idol
This is amazing
This is actually pretty impressive
Well done! This must have taken so much effort.
Thank you! It was so fun trying to connect pieces with drastically different styles, definitely enjoyed the entire process!
@@NicholasMaMusic That's great you enjoyed it! You're creative.
Amazing work! You definitely deserve more subs!!
Thank you!
PAGANINI IS ALIVE?
if someone tried to play this they would literally die
INCREDIBLE!
Brilliant !
Extraordinaire ! Bravo 🎉
Really Awesome, UNIQUE!
You are so clever; thank you for the breakdown.....I found it a challenge to follow (being Grade II 🤭) but did manage to appreciate because of my familiarity with the Moonlight and the Chopin piece 🙂
Amazing! I especially liked the Fantasie Impromptu section
damnn im subscribing ive litearlly only seen 2 videos so far and I'm so impressed 😭😭 slay
This was too brilliant....
Standing ovation
Woah. Was not expecting this to be a real mashup. I only heard one lick in there. After first minute I was just trying to recognize pieces.
Super! Bravo!
I’m actually going to learn how to play this
I love it XD it’s so interstin n entertainin this is what I call top notch quality
It’s, its, beautiful
the end of bar 247 would be a pain to play lol
I love mashups. Much applause 😃
Pure genius!
It resembles copying your friend's homework but you don't have the energy to make it different so you intentionally make it worse but it's still kinda good
You had too much fun with this
Oh my god I am crying of laughter, this is TOO GOOD!!!!
Haha thank you!
Good job!
Amazing
我聽不懂，但我大受震撼。
I didn't understand it, but I was blown away.
Bravo!
amazing
Masterpiece
PLEASE SOMEONE PUTBTHIS ON SPOTIFY
This is so brilliant. Jesus.
Genius!
Thats worth another 5 encores ! .....Not many pianists can disguise this talent so well....
That's why it was done on a computer program...
@@olsim1730 Such a talented computer...must have picked it up at a very young age and practiced very hard obviously , not to mention the private lesson investment it must have taken.... but nice to see that there are those who are still dedicated to computer lessons instead of wasting their days on piano games.
Now this is messing with my head on so many clefs....
