Beethoven: Bagatelle No. 25 in A Minor, WoO 59 "Für Elise"

Take Für Elise, the sound of countless ringtones and a piece you’ll hear in any school with a piano. “For me it is very romantic, and light, like a feather”, Lang Lang explains. “It has to come from nowhere and it has to touch people. It can’t just be treated as background music. I’ve tried to play the piece as the masterpiece that it is, and I hope that children who begin learning Für Elise will treat it the same way.”
