You can't please all the people...etc.

The 1st time I play 'Fur Elise' in 2 & 1/2 years and see what ya get.

As a matter of fact I played it because Leicester is my home town, where I learned to play the piano, and where at the age of 10 I learned 'Fur Elise' at the behest of my Dad. He used to be a semi-pro saxaphone player who played many times on that stage in Leicester. It was for him, not really for you. I'm sorry you didn't like it. Ban Beethoven? Heresy.

Regards

Jon
