About the piece

Beethoven’s Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor was written around 1810 and only published in 1867, long after his death. This is the opening theme. It needs one black key, D♯, and moves quickly between two octaves.

Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven (Bagatelle No. 25, c. 1810). Level: Intermediate.

Practice tips

  • Learn one line at a time. Repeat it until it feels easy, then add the next.
  • Keep your hand still over the keys and let your fingers do the moving.
  • Once you know the notes, press Listen again and play along with the rhythm.
  • Hold Space for the sustain pedal to make the melody sing — release it between phrases so the notes don't blur.
