To train my ears a bit I'm trying to transcribe für elise myself. I've already gotten relatively far (17 measures) by just playing it by ear (I'm stuck right now but thats another problem). Now, after writing it down I saw a "problem" in how I played it. I played the intro like this: E, Eb, E, Eb, E, B, ... and it sounds right. The key is clearly A minor, which wikipedia confirms. But A minor doesn't have any flats and or sharps. So I looked at the sheet music, and it shows it as D# too!
So is the intro just not diatonic or am I missing something? Thanks, Jonas PS: I'll post my transcription for everybody to review and or learn as soon as I'm done

Thank you very much Pedja. I haven't heard of this concept before but it makes sense.

Für Elise relies a lot on A harmonic minor.
