This piece has sentimental value for me too; my grandfather was a wonderful classical pianist, and my father after him, then I followed (before eventually being discovered by the harp! It called o me). Whenever I hear this piece, it brings back to my childhood, waking up Sunday morning to this on the piano, with the potent aromas of pancakes and bacon on the griddle. Thank you. You inspire me.
Always like this piece, Love your sign. Now you don't have to die to hear decent Harp Music. I'm taking your Nightingale with me. Your always a pleasure to watch.
Exquisite, simply exquisite. My first wife used to play this on the piano, in spite of being born with a right arm that ended about an inch below the elbow. She could do the melody runs with that short arm, play the notes as quickly and clearly as you do on your harp, and run bass and harmony with the left. This superb rendition brings back so many memories. Such a beautiful piece, so exquisitely performed, As always.
If I turn off the volume and just watch you play, I would know exactly which song you're playing. You move like you're part of the song. I would never turn it down, though. You play my favorite song beautifully.
Thank you, Deborah. I have the same memories of my Mother playing this on the piano while I sat with my eyes closed simply absorbing it. Like you, I've always enjoyed the ebbs and tides the arrangement takes. My favorite harpist playing my favorite song. You have made my day.
Deborah can make almost anything, from Stolen Moments (all time favorite!) to the blues to Für Elise, sound like it was written for the harp! Wonderful!
@@hipharpist it was a joy to meet you virtually speaking last night my time your more than welcome an evening i will remember for a very long time to come
@@hipharpist btw the young lady you mentioned who is also in south wales well as i said Shelly knows my brother she in fact played at my youngest sisters wedding and reception
This piece has many angles. I am revisiting my childhood music as well. Um who were the 26 who did not like this piece??? I cant see why but there must be a solid reason. I like it but I am not a musician so I can't critique I only know my cats like the harp and get along better. I always liked this artist she has amazing fingers and mind body connection to her music. Thats what I "get" when I watch and listen to her play.
I'm so glad you like it @DiverDave4!!! I remember hearing my mother play it and how much she LOVED having even just one piece she could really PLAY and express her 'pianist-self' with.
@@hipharpist I am a pianist as well so it was particularly enjoyable to listen to. My mother started me on piano as a child, it is a wonderful thing to share musicianship among family members. Our memories are only enhanced by the songs we shared with them. :)
I have another recording of Fur Elise set to harp. It's such a short, beautiful classical piece and I have always loved it. Thank you for a lovely performance
Beautifully done! My first piece learned on the Piano (and the whole reason I learned) I got to teach myself how to read and took 3 months to learn that and Fur Elise, Now I have a few dozen pieces I can play and am of course still learning! having trouble with different beats for each hand but I think that is normal lolol! Keep up the wonderful music!
That's actually GREAT - that it only took you 3 months. And yes, coordinating our two hands with different beats is for sure one of the most challenging part of playing ... and I wonder what wonderful things it does to our brains to do that!
Hey there. One of your Uplevel Gold pals here...and also a professional musician myself for many years! We met briefly in Atlanta. You are a rock star in every way...and I love this classical moment. The arrangement and hearing Fur Elise on the harp is total ear candy (expensive dark chocolate ear candy). Thank you for posting. Hope you make it to Asheville in Nov. You were missed last week!
Why didn't Quentin cast you when he cast De Caprio to play calvin candy??? When Calvinh said " please stop playing Beethoven"You would rip her apart.! Ok it was Dr Shultz who said that.
It is a beautiful piece of music except when your lady friend has it as this tune on a clock at 5.30am then it wears thin except years now our security system plays this when you turn the system on oh memories thankyou Deborah it is a great instrumental was the instru meant to make you mental no
Ha, Merle! Sometimes I DO think the instu meant to make you mental! I know what you mean, though - - if only Beethoven could hear it on an alarm clock in synthesized sound - imagine what he'd think.
I'm sorry, but this was a bit painful to listen to. I cringed at a couple of parts that sounded.. I don't know, blah. Not sure if it's the harp or the technique. There is a version of Fur Elise on UA-cam by a Japanese harpist (Kaori something) that is much smoother.

first time I hear fur Elise on the harp......amazing. Thank you for your pasion
Beautiful - - One of my favorites for a long time. I had learned to play it on the piano, too!
This is a compliment. It makes Beethoven, sound like Mozart. Almost harpsichord sounding versus persussive piano.
" Adventures", what an excellent description.
Always like this piece, Love your sign. Now you don't have to die to hear decent Harp Music. I'm taking your Nightingale with me. Your always a pleasure to watch.
Lovely.
How many years......
MASTER. You play the harp like no one i have heard ever! Comes sooo natural to you....beautiful..
Wonderful! 🔥

WOW. This has always been one of my favorite classical pieces and you play it beautifully. Thank you.
This is the most beautiful song of the world! I'm crying right now. Congratulations to missis Henson-Conant.
If I turn off the volume and just watch you play, I would know exactly which song you're playing. You move like you're part of the song. I would never turn it down, though. You play my favorite song beautifully.
So, I must have heard that every day of my life, growing up. My harpist mother always included it in her daily practice routine.
the best performance
What a beautiful harp!
Re-invention and rediscovery are wonderful - thanks for showing us how to do it, Deb!
You play so emotionally. It's beautiful.
Thank you so much Payton.
Incredibly beautiful.

That was unbelievably amazing. Beethoven must be smiling. Thank you.
Deborah can make almost anything, from Stolen Moments (all time favorite!) to the blues to Für Elise, sound like it was written for the harp! Wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful work not just played but lived and felt thats what I love about yourself as a Musician if i may say so
Thank you so much, Richard!

Don't ever stop and please take care of those great hands!!
This was beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous!
touched my heart ...
This just blows me away!!!
Thanks for beautiful music!
When taught "Für Elise" on the piano, I represented that I pluck the strings - it always adds softness
Wow! I love that image of 'plucking' the piano notes. How beautiful!
Gorgeous interpretation! Inspiring ... Thanks!
Fantastic!
thank you for sharing this wonderful arrangement

Breathtaking. Great story intro.
Namaste and care,

I loved it !

This is wonderful! Rivals the original piano version in its own way.
An absolute delight and pleasure to hear/watch, Beauty and soul, bellissimo ♥

Thank you!!! Bravo!
Lovely . Period .
magnificent !!!
PERRRRRRRRRRRRFECTION!!! Thank you :-)
That was absolutely amazing!!! I hope I'm just as good as you on the harp one day :)
My mother always played it on the music system when I woke up

TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF THE HARP!

Hey! This isn't Meatloaf! What the heck is going on here?!
It's was great but it was a little blocky
I'm sorry, but this was a bit painful to listen to. I cringed at a couple of parts that sounded.. I don't know, blah. Not sure if it's the harp or the technique. There is a version of Fur Elise on UA-cam by a Japanese harpist (Kaori something) that is much smoother.
shut up
Haha! I did that on purpose - to encourage other harpists to get the sheet music and play it better! (Just joking) (sort of)

Would you PLEASE STOP PLAYING BEETHOVEN ON THE HARP PLEASE!!! 😮😮😁😅
If you know you know
الخيوط ماهمش مخاويين مليح وناقصة شوي حنانة عليهم هههههههه.
Go to ....where u want
Not quite captured the Beethovian style
Fantastic!
wonderful!!!
