Für Elise - Beethoven | For Elise | Pro Elišku | Bagatelle No. 25 | PianoKos from PianoKos.com on Vimeo.
Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor (WoO 59, Bia 515, and OEIS A123456) for solo piano, commonly known as "Für Elise" or "Fuer Elise" (German: [fyːɐ̯ ʔeˈliːzə] ( listen), English: "For Elise", sometimes written without the German umlaut mark as "Fur Elise"), is one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most popular compositions. It is usually classified as a bagatelle, but it is also sometimes referred to as an Albumblatt.
The score was not published until 1867, 40 years after the composer's death in 1827. The discoverer of the piece, Ludwig Nohl, affirmed that the original autographed manuscript, now lost, was dated 27 April 1810.
The version of "Für Elise" heard today is an earlier version that was transcribed by Ludwig Nohl. There is a later version, with drastic changes to the accompaniment which was transcribed from a later manuscript by the Beethoven scholar Barry Cooper. The most notable difference is in the first theme, the left-hand arpeggios are delayed by a 16th note beat. There are a few extra bars in the transitional section into the B section; and finally, the rising A minor arpeggio figure is moved later into the piece. The tempo marking Poco moto is believed to have been on the manuscript that Ludwig Nohl transcribed (now lost). The later version includes the marking Molto grazioso. It is believed that Beethoven intended to add the piece to a cycle of bagatelles.

[DE] Für Elise ist das Klavierstück a-Moll WoO (Werk ohne Opuszahl) 59 von Ludwig van Beethoven aus dem Jahre 1810. Der populäre Titel stammt von dem verschollenen Autograph, das laut Ludwig Nohl die Aufschrift trug: „Für Elise am 27 April zur Erinnerung von L. v. Bthvn“. Die fehlende Jahreszahl lässt sich durch das Skizzenblatt BH 116 im Beethoven-Haus erschließen.
Das kurze rondoartige Stück gehört zu den bekanntesten Werken Beethovens. Es hat die Form A–B–A–C–A.

From Wikipedia.org:
Identity of "Elise"
It is not certain who "Elise" was. Max Unger suggested that Ludwig Nohl may have transcribed the title incorrectly and the original work may have been named "Für Therese",[8] a reference to Therese Malfatti von Rohrenbach zu Dezza (1792–1851). She was a friend and student of Beethoven's to whom he supposedly proposed in 1810, though she turned him down to marry the Austrian nobleman and state official Wilhelm von Droßdik in 1816.[9] Note that the piano sonata no.24, dedicated to Countess Thérèse von Brunswick, is also referred to sometimes as "für Therese". The Austrian musicologist Michael Lorenz[10] has shown that Rudolf Schachner, who in 1851 inherited Therese von Droßdik's musical scores, was the son of Babette Bredl, born out of wedlock. Babette in 1865 let Nohl copy the autograph in her possession.
According to a 2010 study by Klaus Martin Kopitz (de), there is evidence that the piece was written for the German soprano singer Elisabeth Röckel (1793–1883), later the wife of Johann Nepomuk Hummel. "Elise", as she was called by a parish priest (she called herself "Betty" too), had been a friend of Beethoven's since 1808.[11] In 2015 Kopitz published further sources about Beethoven's relationship to Elisabeth and the famous piano piece. It shows that she was also a close friend of Anna Milder-Hauptmann and lived together with her in the Theater an der Wien. The singer was the first who played the title role of Beethoven's opera Fidelio. In a letter to Elisabeth she called her indeed "Elise".[12]
