the father plays low range
The Erlking is about a father and son who are riding home on a horse and the Erlking, who is like a mythical seductive elf. The song has rapid repeated octaves in triplets in the piano, which represent the horse's hooves. The Erlking is trying to convince the child to come with him and in fear, the child pleads with his father to protect him. The father, who cannot see or hear the Erlking, reassures his son that everthing is alright. The Erlking tells the child that they can play games and that his daughters can take care of the child. The child becomes more and more terrified and his dad will not take him seriously. The song ends with the father riding into the courtyard with the child dead in his arms.
Musically speaking, simple repeating chord patterns. If you mean what inspired the song, it was his daughter Alexa Ray Joel.
Ave Maria in a minor is probably his most famous song. 'Die Forelle' is another song that made him to compose his famous 'Trout Quintet'. Erlking is an all-time-masterpiece out of his songs.
The song is generally credited to Cab Calloway and his publisher, Irving Mills. But it is based musically & lyrically on Frankie Jaxon's Willie the Weeper.
Erlking by Schubert (also spelled: Der Erlkönig) is in the key of G minor.

There are four different characters in Erlkonig: the narrator, the father, the son, and the Erlking. Each character is represented by a different vocal line and musical theme in the song.
