So thrilled to be published ‘again’ by Syncopation Literary Magazine. Sorry WP, I’ve not had much time to post on here.
You can read the short story, Fur Elise, here.
Like many great artists, Beethoven, despite his massive talent was always an outsider. Class snobbery was rife during his day and age and it tormented Ludwig. I’ve always loved Fur Elise and can visualize an entire story. This is my interpretation of how the story came into existence.
The other part of this story is the setting. There is a reason millions of tourists flood the city. It’s gloriously gorgeous. Echoes of past lives linger on every street. If you listen, you can hear them.
