Beethoven, from the harmony up
4 Beethoven pieces live in our library, spanning the difficulty range end to end: Ode to Joy's beginner-tier theme, Für Elise's familiar minor-key arpeggios, and the first movement of the Moonlight Sonata — a piece built almost entirely on one repeating triplet figure over changing harmony. Each is reduced to block chords first: hear the progression, then read the figuration it generates.
