Souvenir pour Elise. Hommage à Ludwig van Beethoven

František Janoska
Duration: 5'

Almost everyone on this planet knows “Für Elise”. Frantisek has written a new piece that is based on the world-famous motif. It pays tribute to what is probably Ludwig van Beethoven’s most famous piece. Here, both harmonically and rhythmically, but also in its style, a new musical structure offering ample room for cadenzas and improvisations has emerged above the well-known melodic foundation. Nevertheless, it always returns to the original motivic writing of this composition, which curiously was never given an opus number.
