This piece is written for Soprano Recorder and Alto Recorder. Some of the pieces in this series are in keys that you might not see a lot in learning pieces. This was intentional to keep the Soprano part in the lower register. Play along with Notation Composer or print the piece for playing with your friend(s). Please feel free to change the instruments and/or keys to suit your personal needs. RRR

Fur Elise was written by Ludwig Van Beethoven, and is a familiar piece to most people. I copied the lead line for this arrangement from Hal Leonard's "Fake Book of the World's Favorite Songs", and developed the harmony part myself.

I had never played the piece before, and I heard my wife Cynthia playing it from Leonard's book. Wanting to play it myself, I put this arrangement together for the two of us.

We hope you enjoy this piece.
