PS "ROMANZA" Reminds me of oceans eleven...maybe that is the song, ill go check later. Romanza (romanze/romance depending on what country the composer was in) is meant to be a sentimental piece. Although you'd think from the title that it's a love song, it's a lot broader category.

One big one I overlooked in my list is etude, which is French for 'study'. Etudes are pieces that work a specific technical difficulty, like ascending chromatic scales in thirds. Although etudes are meant to be teaching pieces for a technique, the most demanding of them are in the concert repertoire on any instrument.]]> Guitar Players Discussion NoteBoat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-dont-most-classical-songs-have-real-names/paged/2/#post-175358 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-dont-most-classical-songs-have-real-names/paged/2/#post-175348 Fri, 05 May 2006 20:23:25 +0000 Bach's Bouree! Thats a cool one (and short) which a lot of players do. Its pretty much a must learn.
Mozart's 25th Symphony
Paganini's 5th Caprice and his 24th Caprice. - tough ones
Izaac Albeniz's Asturias - wish i could play that :?

None of those are easy - theres always Classical Gas which is a little less tricky with the fingerings.]]> Guitar Players Discussion simon@home.co.uk https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-dont-most-classical-songs-have-real-names/paged/2/#post-175348 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-dont-most-classical-songs-have-real-names/#post-175334 Fri, 05 May 2006 18:16:26 +0000

A :-) I hate it when people do this - I just have to go and see what it's all about. :? Interesting stuff, though.
The concensus seems to point to Therese von Malfatti, with whom Beethoven was said to have been in love. The story is that he wrote it for her, to be played at a soiree at her father's house, after which he was supposed to have proposed to her. He got completely blotted and could neither play the piece nor propose.
He wrote the dedication on the original score. It is assumed that it was, later, incorrectly read as "Für Elise" rather than "Für Therese", on the premise that the letters of old German script was such that Elise and Therese could be mistaken for one another. However, on a document, that has a draft of the score, Beethoven's handwriting is not in old German script (can be seen here.
As to whether she liked it or not, the original, dedicated score was found in her belongings, after her death, but is apparantly nowhere to be found anymore, so no-one can re-examine what he really did write.]]> Guitar Players Discussion greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-dont-most-classical-songs-have-real-names/#post-175329 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/why-dont-most-classical-songs-have-real-names/#post-175318 Fri, 05 May 2006 16:57:50 +0000
