For Elise
Hi, I want to start this blog from my first and favourite composition – For Elise.
This is the popular name of one of Ludwig van Beethoven’s (1770–1827) most popular compositions, the Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO 59 and Bia 515) for solo piano, marked poco moto, dated 27 April 1810. The original autographed manuscript has been lost and the piece itself was not published until 1865.
Bagatelle in A minor. Nicknamed Fur Elise because the original manuscript is inscribed Fur Elise (For Elise). However, recent scholars have suggested that it actually read For Therese – Therese (von Brunswick) being the woman Beethoven fell in love with, and among whose possession the score was eventually discovered. I think this composition is really beautiful. If you want to download For Elise piano sheet click on the link below…
