Fur Elise - Bagatelle in A Minor

A few months ago one of my cousins specifically requested that I record Beethoven's famous "Fur Elise"... so here it is!

You can read about some of the historical background on this piece here. This is definitely one of the most famous (if not THE most famous) classical piano works. Beethoven would probably be quite surprised to discover the popularity of this piece - and perhaps a bit dissappointed that it has overshadowed all of his masterpieces in popularity. Nonetheless, I agreed with my cousin that this is an important work to add to my podcast.

You can download this recording as well as all of my recordings by subscribing to my free iTunes podcast. Or, if you prefer, you can download the MP3 or WMA file directly here. Use the embedded player below to listen online.
