Steinway Artist Lang Lang performs Beethoven's "Für Elise" on the Lang Lang Steinway Black Diamond Limited Edition. Of the piece, Lang Lang says: “For me it is very romantic, and light, like a feather. It has to come from nowhere and it has to touch people. It can’t just be treated as background music. I’ve tried to play the piece as the masterpiece that it is, and I hope that children who begin learning 'Für Elise' will treat it the same way.” Learn more: www.steinway.com/pianos/stein... www.steinway.com facebook.com/steinway/ instagram.com/steinwayand... twitter.com/SteinwayAndSons #beethoven #langlang #music #classical #steinway #classicalmusic #furelise eu.steinway.com/en/pianos/ste... facebook.com/steinway instagram.com/steinwayand...

Yup. I used to put this on my mix tapes in the '80s (I forget who played the version I had), and used the pitch control on my Technics turntable to slow it down about 10%-15%. When played too fast, it loses all of Beethoven's renowned moodiness.
My daughter's name was Elise and, to us, this was always "her song". She was 17 when a childhood cancer took her from us. This rendition is absolutely stunningly beautiful.
Yes. This is one of the pieces I was given as a study and practice in intonation, phrasing, beat and tempo. While the basic piece is learnable even for someone like me, he exemplifies perfection of the piece that lends to its complexities. Very well done!
I feel the same thing when listening to Itzhak Perlman when he plays the 2nd movement from Vivaldis Winter. Most play it too fast. He is slower and its so much better.
Just because it is coined as the "most common classical piece" or the "noob" piece, doesnt mean it has lost its reputation but it is actually the other way around. I watched one concert of Valentina Lisitsa held in S. Korea and the audience laughed for a second when she played this piece. I personally felt offended.
Everyone else plays this piece as if to say “I’ve been playing this since I was 4 and I’m sick of it”, but this man plays it like a virtuoso. What a master, thank you
Every pianist in TH-cam is constantly competing to see who's the fastest one, and then this legend comes and play this piece slowly yet so full of heart and sentiment it just eclipse every other interpretation in this platform. Being faster doesn't make you a better musician, feeling the music does
I agree, however this you should watch this pianist play turkish march or la campanella because in those recordingss it seems that Lang Lang is really going for the speed instead.
Dude...If you've done music theory you know that no one is ' constantly competing to see who's the fastest one,'. Some songs are desingned to be romantic, some allegro.
This is the tempo that I was looking for... Most of them just rush through the piece like they've got some wedding to attend. This is slow...this is nice. ❤️❤️❤️
"most them rush through the piece LIKE THEY'VE GOT SOME WEDDING TO ATTEND" ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... oml im literally crying cause im laughing so hard about that wedding thing XDDDDDDD
A lot of people play it fast in order to hopefully hide their mistakes. It's like people who play ragtime really fast, which is incorrect, but they are trying to get through difficult sections easier by going faster, and, to hide their errors.
The more I listen to Lang Lang, the more I am amazed by him. It's difficult to describe, but when he plays, he gives the piano something akin to voice, soul, mind, or direction. He can give notes weight, or make them fly. He can stretch them, and make them bounce, and rebound. He is an artist at the highest level, eliciting things from the piano that I have never heard from other players.
I teach the piano, and was taught classical piano for 7 years at the Royal Schools of Music, so I have played this, heard this and taught students this piece probably more than any other piece of music in my whole life. So I have because immune to this piece. This is the first time I watched this video and it brought me to tears. Thank you Lang Lang. First you listen to music, Then you like, You then love it, You then get attached to it. Then you let music come into you, your ears, your heart your soul. Then you let go of yourself and immerse yourself in music Then you become the music. THEN THE MUSIC becomes YOU. Lang Lang got to this point with this piece (@nd everything he sets his heart on) He ”sings“ the piano. So
"You become the Music then the Music becomes you" Ohh... So thats why DaBaby turns a NI- HA! You though I was gonna say the N Word, but it was I, DIO! Into a convertible.Thanks for the answers, kinda man. As in the words of the best Marvel villain, Thanos "You have my respect, Stark"

When I was very young we lived in Germany; my Mom made me take piano lessons with a German teacher; she taught me 'Fur Elise", which, somehow, I still remember it; Also, when living in Germany, Mom and I went to several recitals of classical music, such as Beethoven,.Bach..etc...that's when I heard my utmost long-time favorite: PACHEBEL'S CANON. Through all these years (I'm 76) I still weep whenever I listen to this incredibly beautiful piece of true art..
I love how he takes his time with this piece. Most pianists rush and play faster, especially since it's an incredibly simple piece. Amazing as always, Lang Lang!
@@OganySupreme yes that's true, but "incredibly simple" seems to suggest that every beginner would be able to play it, and maybe that's true for the first famous part of the piece, the rest doesn't seem that easy, especially compared to other things (I can play quite well the Prelude in C of Bach for instance)
I'm saying the second part that starts at 0:56 (altough here is played quite slowly ), especially the fast part at 1:09-1:15 and also the third part (2:06-2:46), altough again here's is played very slowly so it looks easy (actually I think that both parts, that are contrasting in mood to the main theme are better played faster and louder)
The intonation, dynamics and emotional quality were brilliantly executed….he made an overused composition sound new. I loved the melancholy feel he brought …his interpretation was so sensitive without being schmaltzy….just perfect!
I want to say a big thank you for your comment/comments (how many it may be), your love and support , I created this channel to reach out to fans and you are amazing❤️❤️. where are you from?
It’s impossible one have not played Fur Elise when study the piano, but with the 9 years I took my son to New England Conservatory’s preparatory school for piano studies before he goes to college, never have I heard any kids play this piece at the weekly recital. All because teachers got tired of it! And that’s also why you don’t find many recoding of this piece by famous pianist. I’m glad Lang Lang did it, and did it so nicely. Thanks for sharing !
Für Elise always gives me chills when played right, but this… this was a whole other level. They played it so well, you could tell they poured their soul into the piece. Some might say they look ridiculous, but these movements in a pianist signify that the pianist feels the music. I can rarely get this feeling myself, but Lang Lang did this perfectly. Round of applause to Lang Lang!
@Argyn Kuketayev it is not an opinion, there is only one person there. Also, to be accurate, Lang Lang is known, is not irrelevant and does not identify as non binary, so, the use of 'they' in this case is incorrect grammar.
I first learnt this piece as an easy version at age 10. Then I learnt the full version for my grade 4 exam. Funnily enough, I can still play this piece from memory. It's been a special piece for me; it's the oldest one in my repertoire.
@@weirdscience6820 It didn't have the part that is played after the first repeat and it didn't have the middle section. So, it was just repeating the main part, the part that is most familiar.
likely better. keep in mind that the bars keep moving up over the years. what seemed impressive then, might not be impressive now. and we don't have any recordings of him.
The fact that he played it at this tempo, added those extra dynamics and gave it so much more crazes me. It sounds absolutely stunning when Lang Lang played it in such a unique way! 6.24.23
When I listen to Lang Lang's playing I feel the true music, pure music by my heart. It seems to me that there is no piano, there is no one who plays the piano, just music deeply touches my heart and soul. When I close my eyes there are only music and me.
Eu também me sinto assim, ouvindo Lang Lang. Ele se transporta para outra esfera, e vou seguindo ele. E o maior artista pianista pra mim. Nos toca no fundo da alma.
Wow, just wow! This is probably the best version, the right tempo, not ignoring dynamics like everyone else... This should actually be the new add for Steinway and Sons...
the backstory behind the song is basically: he taught a girl called elise who sucked at piano,fell in love, wrote a song even she could play, learned she was married and then expanded on the piece to make it so she would never be able to play the full piece correctly this song is literally made from spite and pettyness
Finally. My daughter Elise was born 20th November 2022. So glad I found this fantastic version of her song. Finally. So many great pianists have rushed through this wonderful piece. Lang Lang treats it as the true master he is. Gentle soul. Pure magic. E and I thank you maestro..
Maravilloso, tengo 80 años, empezé tocar el piano a las 60 por una depresión y me ponía, los vidios de Lang Lang y empecé a darle el sentimiento que pone, para mis partituras, es como mi profesor a distancia, aunque voy a la escuela y ya he hecho 20 años y yo sigo, esa paz que siento, cuando pongo las manos en el piano, el maravilloso. Sigue así Kan Lang, haces mucho bien a muchas personas como yo.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lang lang is exactly the guy who plays it how I like the song... Just right.. You can just see his hands and body move with absolute perfection... It's.... Insane
Lang Lang, your exquisite sensitivity while playing is extraordinary! This un-rushed expression, space, timing, soft and tranquil, at 2:07 heartbreaking pathos of Für Elise is the only interpretation that understands the intentions of Beethoven! Thank you! I’ve searched TH-cam and even Ashkenazy’s version is rushed! You give the experience of love and loss, sorrow and melancholy of Beethoven back to us! ❤️
From 1:40 to 1:45 I recognized that I never knew Fur Elise, in his hands it sounds completely different, he contributed more senses, images, dynamics than we got used to listening famous melody, it became dimensional, deeper than just a simple melody.
Been listening to all genre of music for the past 30 years. 'Fur Elise' is definitely the most beautiful piece of melody I have ever heard. The story behind this composition makes this timeless classic even more special. Lang Lang absolutely nails every note and emotion in this version.
Lang played it perfectly. He made the piece sound heavy, yet light as a feather all at the same time. A perfect balance. Not too fast, not too slow, just right.
I’ve listened to Lang Lang’s interpretation a million times! Each one I discover something else that makes his version elegantly majestic. He inspires perfection!
This is the most beautiful version I've heard of Für Elise. I feel like the first part is often rushed, but taking it slow like this is what makes it so magnificent. Note: I'm only a beginner player myself and haven't read the sheet music, so I don't know what it says about speed, I just like it played slowly.
Agree. This is the best. Others are played way too fast, without any emotion in there. This is what great differs from the mediocre ig. How's you learning? I just started one month ago can play easy part of the song in the beginning 😁
@@victoria_8817 I've done with Fur Elise a while ago and proceeded with many other songs. If you just started piano I think you should skip the 2nd part for later. if the song is love of you life keep grinding it, just need 2x time of the 1st part. Be more relax persistence is the key ;)
Lang Lang is absolutely incredible!! The way he moves his fingers it is like the piano becomes an extension of him. He is a truly gifted artist! I can barely make my fingers stretch enough to reach the keys at all:(
I LOVE the way he takes pedal off at 2:30 and it gradually yields to a halt before reminiscing back to the key of Aminor as if a relationship had ended but the memories live on.
Incredibly soothing and peaceful. This song brings back so many memories. The player clearly has so much passion into his performance. Gotta love it!!!
Melody just flows from his fingers like a flow of clear water stream. I think Maestro Beethoven himself would be pleased with this performance. This is, the BEST performance I have ever heard. Magnificent.
I love heavy dubstep, but something about the way this is played just moves you to the core, the emotion brought on by the passion within the pianist just…makes sense, beautiful
Facial expression and body movement while playing musical instruments - energizes the music and gains better attention from the listeners and the audience and Lang Lang is very good in that kind of performance. Bravo! 😊
I hear him speaking to Elise, tender and passionate words: he makes this partition alive if i can say so. I played it, heard it so many times, but never this way...Wonderful!
This was a much slower take on the piece than I'm used to hearing, but it sounds a lot better this way. Lang Lang was able to put a LOT of feeling into this, more than most pianists I've heard. Yes the piano sounds great.
It really doesn't. The tempo is just awkward. Especially the 2nd movement sounds weird (starts at 0:55). It needs to be played fast because it gives contrast to the slow parts. I just don't think that this is how Beethoven imagined it to be played.
I recently started playing this piece and I did some research on it it and the woman he was writing this to was actually called Therese. Lang Lang is such an inspiring person. Beethoven is probably ecstatic listening to talented people like Lang Lang playing his legendary piece.
Oh my gosh this is superb!! I can actually see Elise in front of him, totally in sync with Beethoven’s soul. His fingers are caressing her body with passion, tenderness and pain. I’ve never seen anyone played this piece with this depth of interpretation.
This is true mastery, I am rediscovering 'For Elise'. Yes, it has been overplayed all over pop culture, still this piece is undeservedly spurned by most concertists.
Ive been playing piano for a while now, and so am very familiar with Fur Elise but listening to this just makes me feel like its my first time.... the feeling of wonder and amazement is there..... so amazing.
Beethoven wäre über alle Maßen glücklich wenn er diese Interpretation hören oder wenigstens erfühlen könnte. Es ist einzigartig und unerreicht. Herzlichen Dank

Erich Fernandez depends on which definition of intonation you use
I wish he had played the turn in the B section though. Hardly anyone does, but I prefer it.

Same litterly I thought this is too slow
Most pieces are played too fast.

He took the piece seriously. I have enormous respect for that.
Just because it is coined as the "most common classical piece" or the "noob" piece, doesnt mean it has lost its reputation but it is actually the other way around. I watched one concert of Valentina Lisitsa held in S. Korea and the audience laughed for a second when she played this piece. I personally felt offended.
ofcourse, because Fur Elise is his favourite piece.

@@HelloItsMe-p5d bruh you dont need to be a psychopath just cause i was wrong- 😑
The fact that he played it at this tempo, added those extra dynamics and gave it so much more crazes me. It sounds absolutely stunning when Lang Lang played it in such a unique way!
6.24.23
When I listen to Lang Lang's playing I feel the true music, pure music by my heart. It seems to me that there is no piano, there is no one who plays the piano, just music deeply touches my heart and soul. When I close my eyes there are only music and me.
Heart and soul👁👄👁 that made me feel like im missing a piano
Yeah, for me, when I do that, it’s just me, the music, and my dad yelling at me to start my homework
Eu também me sinto assim, ouvindo Lang Lang. Ele se transporta para outra esfera, e vou seguindo ele. E o maior artista pianista pra mim. Nos toca no fundo da alma.
Goosebumps. You can feel the emotions coming from the piano. This is the best rendition on youtube hand down no questions asked.
For all young parents: Beethoven 's Ode to the baby.
Rien à redire! Bravo
"There is no such thing as best. Only different."
~Arthur Rubenstein (in response to being told that people call him the greatest).
Bugger me! Lang Lang is playing this with HIS EYES CLOSED. I struggle to play this with my eyes open!
I know right? hes a really good musician!
“True musicians don’t use there eyes but their hands”-someone
He can also play Rach 3 with his eyes closed
Say what you want about Lang Lang in general, but you can't overlook that this is probably the best this piece will ever get played.
never heard of him
i would like to have a word with his parents though
Well not ever, Beethoven played it too
Wow, just wow! This is probably the best version, the right tempo, not ignoring dynamics like everyone else...
This should actually be the new add for Steinway and Sons...
He plays it very softly, and the smell of loss in the melody is so palpable.
the backstory behind the song is basically: he taught a girl called elise who sucked at piano,fell in love, wrote a song even she could play, learned she was married and then expanded on the piece to make it so she would never be able to play the full piece correctly
this song is literally made from spite and pettyness
Finally. My daughter Elise was born 20th November 2022. So glad I found this fantastic version of her song. Finally. So many great pianists have rushed through this wonderful piece. Lang Lang treats it as the true master he is. Gentle soul. Pure magic. E and I thank you maestro..
are you Elise‘s da d
No

The most beautiful fur elise ever played by the greatest pianist ever.
Maravilloso, tengo 80 años, empezé tocar el piano a las 60 por una depresión y me ponía, los vidios de Lang Lang y empecé a darle el sentimiento que pone, para mis partituras, es como mi profesor a distancia, aunque voy a la escuela y ya he hecho 20 años y yo sigo, esa paz que siento, cuando pongo las manos en el piano, el maravilloso.
Sigue así Kan Lang, haces mucho bien a muchas personas como yo.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Even ludvig van beethoven will stand and applaud. Played with the feeling and heart poured into it.
Beethoven could probably play it better.
Me too
@@jiezheng8327 dont u dare my guy
The best performance of this I have heard in 70 years. Stunning and beautiful.
This one is the most beautiful version of für elise I've ever heard, he's enjoying while playing and it sounds incredible.
The way his fingers dance across the keys. How he connects with each note. Astounding
Lang lang is exactly the guy who plays it how I like the song... Just right.. You can just see his hands and body move with absolute perfection... It's.... Insane
Lang Lang is my hero! Him and a Steinway, PERFECTION!
I love how he tells his story and how you can feel the emotions with the piano, dancing with the fingers. Amazing. Beatiful.
Lang Lang, your exquisite sensitivity while playing is extraordinary! This un-rushed expression, space, timing, soft and tranquil, at 2:07 heartbreaking pathos of Für Elise is the only interpretation that understands the intentions of Beethoven! Thank you!
I’ve searched TH-cam and even Ashkenazy’s version is rushed! You give the experience of love and loss, sorrow and melancholy of Beethoven back to us! ❤️
Du hast es perfekt ausgedrückt. Das sehe ich ganz genauso ❤
...ich kenne keinen anderen Pianisten, der die Tasten so behutsam streichelt wie Lang Lang....ein Genuß, ihm zu zusehen!!!
From 1:40 to 1:45 I recognized that I never knew Fur Elise, in his hands it sounds completely different, he contributed more senses, images, dynamics than we got used to listening famous melody, it became dimensional, deeper than just a simple melody.
It gave me chills
That's what I thought at the first place
Top chef cooking scrambled eggs
Olive oil in. Salt and pepper. Done!
lmaoooooo im dead
Top chef made scrambled eggs a micheline star dish
He adds a lot if ingredients that taste nice
I was gonna liken it to a professional guitarist playing smoke on the water
I cried midway, this was so beautiful and enlightening. It shows true purpose in life and taught me lessons I don't know what I would do without..
It maybe helped you find your tooth
It taught you to be a better cook?
A beautiful, beautiful rendition of Fur Elise on a STUNNING piano. Thank you Lang Lang, Steinway and Beethoven.
I love how Lang Lang plays this piece with so much emotion....so beautiful!
Been listening to all genre of music for the past 30 years.
'Fur Elise' is definitely the most beautiful piece of melody I have ever heard. The story behind this composition makes this timeless classic even more special.
Lang Lang absolutely nails every note and emotion in this version.
Lang played it perfectly. He made the piece sound heavy, yet light as a feather all at the same time. A perfect balance. Not too fast, not too slow, just right.
The respect this man has for the instrument and musical masterpiece is just perfect!
Lang Lang played with passion. I enjoyed watching his facial expression and finger movements.
I’ve listened to Lang Lang’s interpretation a million times! Each one I discover something else that makes his version elegantly majestic. He inspires perfection!
2 god given talents one to make the piano and one to play it, what a combination,.
And one who wrote this composition.
Without doubt the best of all versions. Perfect tempo and weight.
This is the most beautiful version I've heard of Für Elise. I feel like the first part is often rushed, but taking it slow like this is what makes it so magnificent.
Note: I'm only a beginner player myself and haven't read the sheet music, so I don't know what it says about speed, I just like it played slowly.
Agree. This is the best. Others are played way too fast, without any emotion in there. This is what great differs from the mediocre ig. How's you learning? I just started one month ago can play easy part of the song in the beginning 😁
Same. Just that I know how to play piano.
@@CW-bl1hkhow is your progress? I can do easy parts, but struggling in second part left and right hand just don’t want to coordinate😢
@@victoria_8817 I've done with Fur Elise a while ago and proceeded with many other songs. If you just started piano I think you should skip the 2nd part for later. if the song is love of you life keep grinding it, just need 2x time of the 1st part. Be more relax persistence is the key ;)
@@CW-bl1hk thank you for the advice:)
Lang Lang is absolutely incredible!! The way he moves his fingers it is like the piano becomes an extension of him. He is a truly gifted artist! I can barely make my fingers stretch enough to reach the keys at all:(
I LOVE the way he takes pedal off at 2:30 and it gradually yields to a halt before reminiscing back to the key of Aminor as if a relationship had ended but the memories live on.
Beautifully stated! I hear that as well! 💔
@@shodanart honestly that moment of pulling away the pedal... so subtle but it got me. I'll be using that detail in my own performances :-)
Incredibly soothing and peaceful. This song brings back so many memories. The player clearly has so much passion into his performance. Gotta love it!!!
A Steinway & Sons piano & Lang Lang is a performance that is incredible.
Simply the most moving interpretation we could ask for pray for these great men!
Best version of Fur Elise I have heard.
Ok boomer

@@wonkygames5124 STFU U DEGENERATE PIECE OF SHIT PROBABLY LISTEN TO RAP ALL DAY SO U HAVE GONE DEAF TO GOOD MUSIC
@@thedevilhimself1481 calm down lol, leave him to his fantasies, impromptu
Heh
i love lang-lang's EXPRESSION OF EVERY NOTE !!!!!!!!!!
Melody just flows from his fingers like a flow of clear water stream. I think Maestro Beethoven himself would be pleased with this performance. This is, the BEST performance I have ever heard. Magnificent.
Each key is played so smoothly and paced so well I just can’t handle it ❤️
I love heavy dubstep, but something about the way this is played just moves you to the core, the emotion brought on by the passion within the pianist just…makes sense, beautiful
For me this is a perfect tempo which he communicates without drama. 10/10
Lang Lang is a master at taking simple pieces and elevating them to a whole different dimension of beauty and grace
That piano is quite literally the most beautiful thing I’ve seen today😍
He’s pouring his Heart and soul when he plays! Breathtaking!!
Facial expression and body movement while playing musical instruments - energizes the music and gains better attention from the listeners and the audience and Lang Lang is very good in that kind of performance. Bravo! 😊
I hear him speaking to Elise, tender and passionate words: he makes this partition alive if i can say so. I played it, heard it so many times, but never this way...Wonderful!
This was a much slower take on the piece than I'm used to hearing, but it sounds a lot better this way.
Lang Lang was able to put a LOT of feeling into this, more than most pianists I've heard. Yes the piano sounds great.
It really doesn't. The tempo is just awkward. Especially the 2nd movement sounds weird (starts at 0:55). It needs to be played fast because it gives contrast to the slow parts. I just don't think that this is how Beethoven imagined it to be played.
I love you Lang Lang! You bring so much soul to this piece! ❤️❤️❤️
Am glad you feel that way❤️🎹⚡️
Lang lang I play piano to
This is a song written for the performer more than the audience. While it is not the most impressive or difficult piece, it's pure joy to play.
Lang Lang’s whole being flows with the music into the piano. The piece is played with such respect leaving out all other distractions.
This rendition is absolutely stunningly beautiful
He's here to take Fur Elise back to its place when the XXX Got Talent contestant played it in the most sacrilegious way 👍.
Mei Yen Wong Yes!!! Sacrilegious! This is real Ling Ling
Golden Buzzer for me
I recently started playing this piece and I did some research on it it and the woman he was writing this to was actually called Therese. Lang Lang is such an inspiring person. Beethoven is probably ecstatic listening to talented people like Lang Lang playing his legendary piece.
Love Lang Lang's interpretation of Fur Elise! Have always wondered why so many pianists rush through this beautiful beauuuuuuutiful piece of music...
Oh my gosh this is superb!! I can actually see Elise in front of him, totally in sync with Beethoven’s soul. His fingers are caressing her body with passion, tenderness and pain.
I’ve never seen anyone played this piece with this depth of interpretation.
Yeah, it's almost as if the piano is called Elise.
Goofy
😊😊
You are so god damn pretentious.
what？！？！？！？
This is true mastery, I am rediscovering 'For Elise'. Yes, it has been overplayed all over pop culture, still this piece is undeservedly spurned by most concertists.
For me, personally, this version is deeply moving. Thank you, Lang Lang
Like the water running down the creek, like a feather floating away in the air...Bravo!
Extraordinary this pianist from so much searching finally found someone who practically executes the piano perfection.
Ive been playing piano for a while now, and so am very familiar with Fur Elise
but listening to this just makes me feel like its my first time.... the feeling of wonder and amazement is there..... so amazing.
He doesn’t just play the song perfectly but he also feels the music as well. This make the whole experience of the song more enjoyable.
Ineffable feeling - no other words are needed.IMHO😮
My favorite pianist. So many talented people from incredible China.
Glad this is more about music and emotions than showing off mechanical skills like you often hear in so-called advanced versions. Bravo.
His hands are like butter!!!! Well done Mr. Lang Lang!
Lang Lang is how you pronounce it in Chinese
Beethoven wäre über alle
Maßen glücklich wenn er diese Interpretation hören oder wenigstens erfühlen könnte.
Es ist einzigartig und unerreicht. Herzlichen Dank
That is a beautiful piano. And I've never heard Für Elise sound better. What a lovely touch, Lang Lang!
