Video of Fur Elise

Dear reader,

Fur Elise is one of the most popular pieces of Beethoven, probably the main theme of this Rondo is the most popular tune ever, world over.

While I was practicing this piece recently, my son Saketh Ram got interested and picked up the entire piece in about 2-3 weeks with very little guidance from me (almost self-taught). He uses different fingers than I do :-). He had some very basic training for about 1-2 years in Piano (during 2008-10). Though he is not so good at sight reading, his fingers have the dexterity and he has a good ear and fine taste for music and this is produced entirely from memory.

Being 10-yr-old, he can not have his own blog and that is the reason I'm hosting it here.
Hope you will enjoy and as always your comments are most welcome!

Cheers!

P.S: Head phones recommended!

Very nice Playing. My Congratulations to him. I started watching it once and then i was like doing it three or four times continuously. Considering his age, its a great effort by him to play this rather difficult piece.

Cheers

Congratulations. Considering his age it is a fine piece of work. Music is innate with him and please encourage him to learn keyboard.

Cheers Vyshali

You must be a proud father. How the genes transmit :). Child prodigy. He is so dextrous and plays without any hangups. Guess that's a quality we lose as we grow up. I hope he becomes a great pianist.
