Für Elise

Bagatelle in A minor WoO 59

Memories of a daughter's fine piano playing

Submitted by An Anonymous Mom. Story added around October 2007.


When my daughter was about 14, she stopped taking piano lessons, but continued to work on a variety of music pieces. Fur Elise was a song she worked on for awhile and was able to play it very well. I always enjoyed listening to her play, particularly this song. She has got herself involved in a destructive relationship and no longer plays piano or talks to her family, but even now, when I hear Fur Elise I can smile and know that someday she will be back at my home playing it on the piano.
