Schumann on Piano for Mongkol the Bull Rescue Elephant

Mongkol is a bull rescue elephant living in Thailand. Occasionally Mongkol when strolling along the river would stop by the piano. If we noticed him waiting I would go over and play him a few slow classical pieces. Sometimes people ask whether animals like music? In my learning experience with elephants I observed it’s not so much the “sound“ that music makes as expressive rise and fall in musical phases.
