Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata for an old elephant

1. Elephants can hear rumbling low frequency sounds that we can't

It’s how the males advertise they’re ready to mate which attracts the females who are also ready.

So I wonder how the music sounds to elephants. Are there notes we don’t hear in our music?

2. I read they flap their ears when they are happy or excited n/t

4. I wonder if they are deaf to the higher notes on the piano.

Their ears may be tuned to a much lower audio "spectrum" than ours. I think 20 hz to 20,000 hz was the audiophile "sweet spot" for gear.

3. That's beautiful...

5. I think the elephant is eyeballing the keyboard, wondering ...

... "I hope those keys ain't ivory, buddy".
