Beethoven “Emperor” on Piano for Old Bull Elephant

Mongkol is a 61-year-old former logging elephant. His captive-held life was spent hauling trees in the Thai forest. His body shape is deformed through hard labor, he lost his right eye and tusk in this brutal logging practice. Mongkol was rescued and brought to Elephants World to spend the rest of his days relaxing peacefully in freedom by the River Kwai. I discovered Mongkol is an extremely gentle, sensitive elephant who enjoys music, which I play to him occasionally in the day and night. Music: Beethoven “Emperor Concerto“ slow movement. Sheet music is available (free) from IMSLP Music Library: scroll down to: “Adagio un poco moto (No.2)For Piano (Moszkowski)”
