What a magical development! I really enjoyed your wonderful performance.

🎵 What a delightful reimagining of Für Elise! Love how you bring fresh life to this classic after 25 years ✨ Your playful spirit shines through - from boogie-woogie to those Fifth Symphony references 🎹 The piano sounds so beautifully tuned and resonant 💫 With closed eyes, we can feel both Beethoven's spirit and your creative joy 🌟 Your spontaneous one-take magic brings such warmth to this beloved piece ❤️ Pure classical creativity! 🎼

Wonderful version🙏 , first melody i learned to play 😊

again, outstanding and marvellously creative. My daughter's name is Elise, so of course I had to learn this one, and I sometimes play around with a silly Jazzy style version myself, but very very basic and nothing nearly as rich as this. Really digging checking out your music man.

Thinking of Elise is my one take recording from tonight and somewhat interpretation of Fur Elise by dear Beethoven. I haven't played this for about 25 years, at least not entirely, only the first page, fooling around at my gigs countless times, making it either boogie-woogie, or jazzy, or doing a mix with other classical themes like the 5'th symphony theme and ending it with happier same 5th symphony improvising the theme in c major cause why not?! 


I hope you will enjoy it.

will get back to it soon and will record a "more practiced" version. Hopefully ! :)
