fur elise

I have said more times than I would like to remember that Beethoven's
Fur Elise is overplayed.

And I used to think of it as a simple piece for children.


Wrong.


First I am memorizing it - and it won't be long until I accomplish that.

And then I'm going to study it - because I believe that Fur Elise is a most
beautiful piece of brilliance - and by studying it we can look into the very
heart of Ludwig von Beethoven.


Anyone have any thoughts on that?


I'm going to spend the next few posts of my new Classical Piano Seminar
on this and would welcome any comments from anyone.
