1. The famous tune. Listen to the little tune rock up and down.
2. A sunny part. A new tune, a bit happier.
3. The tune comes back. The first tune is back! Do you know it?
4. A stormy part. Listen, now it's low and loud.
5. Quick little notes. Lots of quick little notes run up and down!
6. Hello again. The first tune comes back one last time.

For grown-ups: the composition is in the public domain (written 1810). Peabody’s band plays it from notes read out of a published score, simplified to one tune line with chords, and some stops are played by a different band so the change is easy to hear. Read from: https://abcnotation.com/tunePage?a=trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/mirror/LesterBailey/melnets_big_abc_file/04347 (Frank Nordberg's musicaviva.com transcription, both hands), checked against Mutopia's https://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/BeethovenLv/WoO59/fur_Elise_WoO59/fur_Elise_WoO59.mid. A minor as written, the eighth note as the beat (3/8 as three beats); top line only and repeats cut; the stormy part and its run of quick notes an octave lower (they climb past G5), the run's second pair of bars cut; the high E6 in the sunny part left out; harmonised here from the left hand.
