I wonder how one makes the E to E to E jump on the bass clef (on Fur Elise)?

Fifth finger on bottom E , to thumb on the higher E and then your third finger over to the G# - smoothly, not a 'jump'! Practise it going up and then down continuously to get it smooth as you can so it feels completely natural, and as you play the bottom E get your hand spread out so the thumb is nice and handy (har har) for the top E.

Use the pedal hehe...then you can sort of jump the notes without making it sound so obvious.
