## Muzik

Karangahan do muzik diti nopo haro woyo o kilimo boogian (five-part) rondo miampai foom A-B-A-C-A. Kowoowoyon kopomoinan dau nopo nga id A minor om timpu kopomoinan 3/8. Kotimpuun iti muzik maya A id *Poco moto* *( literally “ a little motion ,” a tempo indication that does not appear elsewhere in Beethoven’s works )*, miampai do *appergiated* id ponong gibang longon sabaagi manananud irama *(accompaniment).* I au pointanud o irama *(with unaccompanied oscilitation)* nopo nga milo okito maya dominan E om chromatic tosiriba do D sharp i tumimpuun maya melodi i orongou id woyo do *classical*. The digression at measure 9 glances at the relative major before returning to the original theme and key, preceded by a prolongation of the dominant, E that extends the opening lower-neighbor oscillation. The pitch outline of these bars, E-F-E-D-C-B, i.e. an upper-neighbor ascent to F5 followed by a descending scale, also forms the basis of the two episodes B and C, thus unifying the piece. The B section that begins in bar 23 is in the submediant, F major. Its theme begins by tracing the outline mentioned above in somewhat elaborated fashion and modulates to the dominant, followed by 32nd-note runs repeating a cadential progression in C major in a codetta-like passage. (The chordal three-note upbeats in the left hand have been anticipated by the transition to this episode in bar 22, a clever unifying touch.) This suggests a rather expansive form, but Beethoven suddenly returns to the dominant of A minor in bar 34, once again lingering on the dominant E and its lower neighbor and leading to an exact repeat of the A section. Although another nominal episode follows (C) at bar 59, it does not leave the tonic and is rather coda-like in feel, unfolding over a dramatic, throbbing tonic pedal in the bass and emphatically cadencing in the home key. Once again, there are unifying relationships with previously heard material. The melody retraces the descending outline alluded to earlier, and the cadence in bars 66-67 is an augmented version of the theme's cadence in bars 7–8. After a glance at a Neapolitan harmony (B-flat major) and a cadence at bar 76 that brings the music to a complete halt for the first and only time, an ascending A minor arpeggio and a chromatic descent over two octaves follows, sort of a *cadenza in tempo*, leading to a final repetition of the A section. The piece concludes without an added postlude.

Kopitz presents the finding by the German organ scholar Johannes Quack that the letters that spell Elise can be decoded as the first three notes of the piece. Because an E♭ is called an *Es* in German and is pronounced as "S", that makes **E**–(L)–(I)–**S**–**E**: **E**–(L)–(I)–**E♭**–**E**, which by enharmonic equivalents sounds the same as the written notes **E**–(L)–(I)–**D♯**–**E**.
