A little boy sits at the piano and practices the piece of music "For Elise". But it just won't work out. Angry and desperate he scolds Beethoven when the composer suddenly answers him. He speaks from the portrait hanging on the wall above the piano. The composer climbs out of the picture frame and plays the piano piece to the boy himself. Thereupon a dialogue develops between the two of them in which Beethoven talks about his life and his music.
