A thumbs up, Daver! A friend of mine used to play this on the piano; always found it hauntingly beautiful. She had also played the Flûte traversière. This is bringing me back to my home. Hope you're feeling better! Love you, Mikki

My mother who is from France called it Pour Elise. I sneak at least a few notes into everyone of the plays I direct. A Fav.
