My Mom - The Concert Pianist

My mother, who passed away in 1993 (when I was 21) was talented in so many ways. She really was the greatest woman I have ever known in real life. She was great at baking and cake decorating, sewing, gardening, photography, nursing and ministering to others. She was also an amazing pianist. She really could have gone on to be a concert pianist, but nursing won out.

My dad was in the Army, so we moved around every three years. At every church we joined, when they heard my mom play the piano, they asked her to fill in for the regular one and to give specials or mini concerts of sort.

Anyway, when we moved to Germany, I fell in love with Fur Elise, a classical piece by Beethoven. On my 15th birthday, she surprised me with the sheet music and she played it for me. Honestly, her version was as good or better than the one I am including in this post. Press play to listen.
