Would Beethoven like this blues version of Für Elise?

[AviatorTom]

What do you think? Would Beethoven like this blues version of his noted and easily recognized composition Für Elise?

I prefer the original but it's an agreeable twist that doesn't venture far from the beaten track. A problem with a lot of updated versions of old music is they just add a loud beat on top or speed it up.

He probably would. He’d also like the “Furry Lisa” ragtime piano version by Ethan Uslan.

I think he would. There was some really bouncy, jazz-style piece that he wrote for the piano, though I can't remember what it's called.

Beethoven was considered progressive by his contemporaries and i don’t think he would be offended at this.

[Nikki1989]

I would think so. He was a musical visionary.

[DJB72]

Beethoven was a musical innovator in his day, so he'd probably have appreciated it.

Of course, he was deaf too...

I don't know about Beethoven but I much prefer the original.
